I am using HX50.

I would like to find out what are the expected average uploads/down loads per hour of the modem in idle state , that is when no PC or router is connected to it,

With the introduction of new FAP by BW on W3a Africa satellite and looking at the Historic details , i feel the modem is down/uploading too much data even when my computers /router are off

Even with the PC and router powered down, the modem itsellf carries on a 24/7 dialog with the gateway server. But it's all health and welfare stuff, maybe an occasional firmware update. Here's a my usage snapshot of a typical 0200-0700 (GMT-5) block:
04/01/2010    2:00    03:00    58 0.49    **    0.14
04/01/2010 3:00 04:00 60    0.47    ** 0.05
04/01/2010 4:00 05:00 59    0.32    ** 0.05
04/01/2010 5:00 06:00 60    0.35    ** 0.05
04/01/2010 6:00 07:00 58    0.35    ** 0.05

I'm in bed, but the modem is still chatting. Column 5 is download, column 7 is upload. I consider this to be normal data transfer during otherwise idle time. Significantly more than that? Suspect malware - or somebody hijacking your local signal.
