Everyone at your place is probably accessing the net via a proxy server and firewall which bridges the gap between your internal network and the Internet . The URLS of the sites you visit are beeing logged there.My work place has recently started sending out mails to some staff stating that they have used X hours internet over the previous month to try in an effort to try & prevent overuse.Does anyone know in what way this is recorded?& if there is a way around it?
You're probably entitled to inspect the logs they're keeping about you.

I have seen plenty of surveys showing how many productive days are lost annually through 'sick' leave but never through internet misuse during work time.
As a worker in the public sector, I don't have access to the internet at work. If I need to access it,it is in a designated area where one signs a time sheet for the usage. Also only certain phones have direct lines outside the local area,in our office my phone out of three lines is the only one like this, one has to use the switchboard for long distance calls and mobile calls and one is billed for personal calls. On my line, I can and have been queried as to whether or not calls were personal or business. Other than solitaire , all other games are taken off computers before we get them, and to be honest , I think that is fine as the older lemon in the office.
Just reassuring all those who think that we public servants are always on the internet!!!
