707gigs down 100gigs up for the last 30 days. 3 kids, 2 adults with heavy netflix/hulu/other streaming, home lab, work, and general surfing. Good thing I'm on business class. With a 350gb cap, that'd be a big bill on residential Comcast. 85/15 connection here.
Had a big month in December with about 3721GB total, haven't been home as much in January so only used about 1717GB.
Ekke, thats quite a bit of data. I always though I was a bandwith hog but... There is always a bigger fish.
17 TB in jan.
[..]
After my old provider went bankrupt i had to get a new connection. This ofcourse took weeks. So the first opportunity that represented itself I got a second connection installed. Thats never happening again. 3G sucks for data intensive work and streaming.
Out of curiosity.
- What kind of connection is that?
- Do you use that at home or is it a connection @work or in the DC
The previous month? 8.6TB. A couple months ago it went past 10TB.
Foreveralone dude household. Gigabit ("1000/1000") residential FTTH on a open access network in Norway.
The TV cord is cut. Yes - a lot of streaming. Both inbound and outbound. Netflix in UHD.
Thats a lot of data of course, and streaming doesnt explain all of it. There's some STUFF of course (foreveralone remember), and backups, live database replicas for various projects, experiments, working from home... So this is nowehere near representative for a normal household, cord cutting or not.
This is actually quite moderate compared to what it was while running a Tor relay, which consumed 5TB a day. Not an exit relay, mind you. ISP didn't mind, but I eventually needed to use the hardware for other things.

WHAT>???
I'm on the highest tier available home connection in my country and can't even top out my advertised 100/40. I'm lucky if I ever get over 85/30. I have all the jealousy!
High def pr0n uses a lot of bandwidth. No judgment here.The previous month? 8.6TB. A couple months ago it went past 10TB.

Sounds that you are on docsis. Shared channels.
In my switch loop there are 12 switches in a single loop 1gbe to a aggregation switch not 2x1,just the single gbe, most switches are 24 ports some 48. Bandwidth utilization is soo low on average if you exklude me, often 1 to 5 Mbit total upload during the days, average at peak around 2100 is often 10 ish Mbit...
So on average a customer dont use bandwidth, you need hundreds of customer to even get some traffic going, average traffic that is. Since dl mostly is short and bursty.
