How is it possible to go over 250GB in a month? Do you lie in bed streaming video all day, every day?

I live in an apartment with 5 other computer science students. We move over 100gb/per week easily.

- WFH (syncing toolchains or source repos over VPN, or downloading VM images)

- Dropbox, or syncing disks to backup services

- Constant streaming of music from Spotify/Pandora/Soundcloud

- 1080p video

- Gaming

- Youtube

With a 120 mbps internet connection, it's pretty easy to rack up usage quickly.

1080p streams pretty much, especially tv. Not even every day
