1TB goes by shockingly fast with 4k video streaming (5-10 gigs per hour) and game updates that weight in at tens of gigs each.

- viraptor 6y agoThat's why I mentioned lowest plan. Sure, bump it up for higher levels. But if you want 100h of 4k content a month... just pay for the higher quality to subsidize network development which can handle it? This is totally out of the minimum requirement area.
- benlivengood 6y agoThe 4K content is probably coming from a rack in the local ISP's DC or nearby colo in a peering agreement with the video streaming operator, and barely costing the ISP anything. The place where ISPs skimp is between the home and the DC where the monopoly is.
- mfkp 6y agoI downloaded a MS Flight Sim 2020 update yesterday and it was north of 100gb lol.
- v7p1Qbt1im 6y agoYep. I used like 2TB last month. And that‘s with 2 people in the household. Granted, I‘m certainly a fringe user. But with 4K streaming, YouTube/Twitch, PS5 downloads, Steam, server stuff, usenet, video conferencing, WFM, etc. it kind of stacks up. I‘m so glad I have a local fiber provider.
