really surprised that india apparently has data caps in the terrabyte range... typical usage in germany is around 150gig/mo.

is p2p that much more popular? are you streaming everything in 16k+?

I have 1Gbps up/down fiber, no monthly cap on data, i use zero p2p.

Canada

I stream alot. I have 3 IPTV boxes, Netflix, 2 mobile devices, and my kid watches a tonne of YouTube.

We constantly hit at least 1.8tb/month.

We don't upload anything, just alot of 1080p streams (don't have 4k device).

I last had a 150GB/month cap when I had ADSL connection and only 1.5Mbps connection like 15 years ago.

Heck I just did 110GB of wifi usage on my 1 phone this past month.

How are you using so little data. Do u just read text and look at limited images?

> I stream alot.

no kidding

1080p stream ~ 1-2GB/h -> 1TB/mo ~ 16h/day

> I last had a 150GB/month cap when I had ADSL connection

there is no cap, i meant what i said 'typical usage'

> How are you using so little data. Do u just read text and look at limited images?

indeed, we read a lot.

Piracy is rampant so it doesn't surprise me especially games which require hundreds of gbs to download these days.
