I'm nosey, so interested in how people's usage is going. Had the idea from another thread. With the increase in speeds and increased availability of some applications be interesting to see how people are rolling.
My last 14 days of graph are attached. I can't give my usage in GB/month across the services as I don't hold it and neither do 2 of them either.
My monthly usage, exceptional things removed, is ~700 GB/month with just two of us here and 1.1 TB/month when daughter is back from university. This is total across all 3 lines.
My Zen and BT 900s run at 3 Mbit/s 95th percentile, 300:1 ratio from nominal maximum, my Faelix 300 1 Mbit/s 95th percentile. Same ratio.
In a 30 month day a 900 Mbit/s service running at maximum can push 291.6 TB, a 300 Mbit 97.2 TB = 680.4 TB/month.
So we use less than 1/660th of maximum capacity across 24 hours and 1/300th 95% of the time.
Usage has remained constant in the past year.
I appreciate this seems insanely low given the services I have but usage doesn't scale linearly with bandwidth available, or close to it, burst changes.

Apparently, according to VM we used 236GB last month, so not much at all. Unfortunately it only shows the previous month's usage.
-
I use about 500-700GB a month (both ways) according to DSL stats Traffic on a 64Mbps Plusnet connection - I stream a lot and download a lot and game sometimes - I'm housebound so have nothing better to do than study online or stream a documentary on YouTube or Netflix on TV - I'm into fiction I love to learn - I am of the opinion that if I cant currently work then I can study thanks to the internet and websites like this (thanks everyone)
edit: last month was 600GB

I think tx and rx may be reversed in these graphs.

This does include management traffic bridged to the modems and constant router monitoring.

Haven't got a clue. My usuage has changed drastically from what it was a few years ago. I thought PN had a VMBU page, but I cant find it now. Last time I looked it was ~100GB from mostly streaming. But the past few months I havent really been watching movies or using netflix. There will some some months when my usage has been nil except for what the cats and Alexa have ued as I've been in hospital a few times for long periods... but wouldnt be surprised if this months was less than 50GB.
-
About 15GB/month, maximum.
-
Around 50 GB a month.
-
No idea at all - isn't that why we have 'unlimited' packages?
-
A picture of recent months from A & A:

2 adults 1 kid in the house; we're at around 1TB/month down and 100GB/month up on Fibre 900/115 from Zen. Most content is streamed to TVs which will be the bulk of the usage.
-
Averaging around 1TB per month on my FTTP connection with Cerberus Networks (something like 900/110).
I don't imagine my usage will change much, but in the next month or two I will be switching to a local altnet ISP who's currently rolling out symmetrical gigabit FTTP across the town, with an ambition to offer up to 10Gbps in the future (the modems they are installing are capable of handling that) :P.

Hopefully you will start a thread to detail the above for the curious (both kittehs and other entities). ;)

Had to re-sync all the datasets on the remote machine in April-May 2020.
-
98Gb last month on ADSL2 on 2.5/0.7 :-\
-
Anywhere between 300-700GB a month according to AAISP
-
Hard to judge reliably for me, as we've gone from a 5 to a 4 person household.

Still using about 2.2TB a month, we both work from home and the kid will youtube/xbox whenever he can get away with it.
Just enough data usage to unfortunately stop me going back with AAISP - who have a 2TB limit for their home tariff... nvm
Data caps are a terrible idea Mr. Kennard, please just rate limit abusive users...
-
Based on AAISP data ranges from about 150 to 700 gig a month, above 500 is extremely rare, I think the 700 or so was when I downloaded a load of xbox gamepass games in one week.
-
I can't recall if and when I mentioned it before, but I generally find it difficult to exceed 1TB regularly in terms of downloads in a single month. The most I've used is about 1.4TB, but the average is still less than 800GB per month.
-
I went absolutely mad in April and hit 208GB. Prior to that the highest was 140GB. Usually below 100GB.
I just wish Mr Kennard had reduced prices instead of increasing the allowances - if he had I would probably have still been with them.
