Can anybody beat the previous post?!?
I actually find it difficult to work out how one user or even a large family could use that much data in a month.

You have now completed downloading the Internet, so have no further use for your connection. Please disconnect your router and return it to us in one of the hundreds of return bags sent to another forum user.
Thank you. Your custom is appreciated...

I suspect a HD stream in Netflix is around 4GB (Assuming 5 - 7 MBit/s bitrate) streaming, Sky Go is a lower bitrate but I'm sure some people forget to switch it off
Games are now approaching 20GB.
HD Video from a decent source can be 50GB plus.
Offsite backups can generate a lot of data if the contents of one's hard-drive is constantly changing.
Shifting virtual machines can go through hundreds of GB at a time although I'd expect that to be more a business use than a residential connection.

Quote from: Bluesplayer Is someone who uses 150 GB a month considered a heavy user these days?
I constantly hit 300gb a month and I work 50+ hours a week

The usage page doesn't seem to capture all the data flowing through the WAN, router shows around 200-300GB more, not sure why!

I remember when my 512kbps cable modem connection was completely revolutionary... Now, I would be upset if I got that slow a connection on my 4G phone!
