This is why amazes me. At my home we blow through on average 25 GB a day in gaming, streaming video, other downloads etc. limits like these are terrible. 80 a month? Wtf?!

25 GB a day? Are you streaming 4K?
I live alone and use 50-100 gb/day on days I’m home all day, so 25gb/day isn’t that much.

I cut cable TV years ago and exclusively stream. I like having the TV on for background noise when home, even though I’m usually not actively watching it the whole time, and you’d be surprised how fast one can chew through data usage. I usually use around 1.5TB a month when you factor in offsite backups.
