this must have happened to me, i apparently downloaded, 6.5GB in 2 weeks....All on LTE & 3G
This is my latest bill, the November column is for the previous month. At the time, the offending device was running iOS 6.0.0 (initially at least). My service provider is investigating their end. The current month's usage appears to be back at previous levels.

Wow thats crazy...
i'm trying to find my account records for the last few months, mine would look really similar.
I've never gone over 1GB in the last 2 years, then in 2 weeks of the same useage, 6.5GB, i managed to talk my provider out of charging me tho, 1GB was done while the phone was charging, in the middle of the night.
How many MB or GB did you manage to get?
I restored my phone, the update came out & this month is back to normal, funny thing is, my brother has the same phone as me (iPhone 5) same provider, his data was totally normal.

I'm not blaming Apple necessarily, this is just my record for whatever reason but a great coincidence at least.
All the best.
Oh, my usage - here it was 6.6 GB for one phone which has a cap of 2 GB that isn't normally exceeded.
Oh my. That's bad. Sorry to hear this. Did anything crash when you rearranged icons on any previous version of iOS? Auto-reboot, hmm, strange. I read somewhere iPhones can shut themselves down in order to avoid overheating.
No she was just moving icons when it auto rebooted. No, our iPad does not have overheating issue. And, our iPad is used about 1 hour a day by our kid. I and my wife have probably used it for about 2 hours in total since iOS6.
The leak isn't restricted to just streaming or audio; I don't use any audio features of the iPhone I just purchased and the data consumption is through the roof (first iPhone - coming from Android - and data consumption is more than 3 times what it used to be - with a **reduction** in usage!).
Also - iOS 6.0.1 did NOT fix the problem.
I reset my iPhone, didn't install any apps, didn't setup any email, iCloud or anything else - just a phone at that point - it consumed almost 30MB in half a day!
Apple may get unfairly picked on for some things (much of it self-inflicted at that), but this is the kind of bug that Apple used to make fun of Microsoft for. The OS should never have been released to the public like this and it really makes you wonder what kind of quality control testing they do that this was never caught.
My iPhone is going back until they sort this mess out.
There are other AV Foundation bugs affecting video. Fir example, the Podcasts.app doesn't work with soft subtitle and alternate audio tracks at all as the Videos.app does. Even the videos.app stumbles a little with alternate audio tracks. In iOS 5.1.1, the Videos.app would identify alternate audio tracks by language (English, French, Spanish, etc.) buy the Videos.app in iOS 6 labels all audio tracks "Stereo" so you cannot tell what language you are selecting.

My experience is that usage seems to have slowed since ios6.01 , but still worse than w/ ios 5.
Also of note here, is that the battery is draining rapidly while audio streaming. Today, down 40% in 1.5 hours...
A variable is it's an area of sketchy 4g coverage, so it might be doing a lot of re-connecting... but down 40% in 90 minutes is really sad.
