With computer off, unplug the phone line to your dial up modem, or unplug the network cable to your computer if you are connected high speed.
Start your computer - is the situation the same?
If cpu usage goes way down, you have some kind of malware on your computer that is furiously using your internet connection. You need to run a full scan with your anti-virus software, and possibly scan using a trojan finding program.
If situation doesn't change, something else is going on.
