Apparently a lot more, at decent resolution that's only about 30 min a day.

Youtube is brutal, I just watched my son look up a few minecraft videos..... 350MB of data.

Using 100GB to 120Gb per month. Only have it for internet and do not use for other services.

Quick question about Comcast accounts. I have internet and TV but never signed up for TV service and do not have a cable box. Can I ask to turn off the TV account or is that part of a speed upgrade for Comcast? Hate to have to call their customer service and I can not find anything on the web site to just have internet.

They give a discount if you bundle. It may have been less expensive to get both when you signed up. I'd either cancel the video or get one of the "dumb" boxes. You might get one free, otherwise they're just a couple bucks a month. This would be for what used to be "Basic Cable". Either way why pay for something you're not using. It may only save you 5 bucks to cancel the video. 5 busks is still 5 bucks.

I'm somewhat surprised at how much data some of these sites use, I guess I shouldn't be but I still am.

Got home at about 9PM, made dinner and looked up some houses on Zillow (mainly looking at pics). The iPad we were using logged almost 2GB in that hour on Zillow; that's roughly 4Mbps for the entire hour.

No Netflix and no porn and we've logged about 5GB since I started this thread.

Ah, Blast Plus.
It's "Blast"(105mbps down) internet bundled with economy video. (basic plus a few chans). The primary (non-hd) cable box is free if you want it. If you are still in the promotion period, It's a decent deal. If not, drop the video.

We're fairly heavy users and we're having a heavy month at 140GB so far. I can't imagine what 700GB usage would look like. Are you trying to make a backup copy of the Internet over there?

Oh, kids are involved. All bets are off. Everything is at their fingertips and it's delivered by magic.

A better question is why do you care as it has no cap...

Because they have rolled out caps and additional usage fees in many areas and I think it's just a matter of time.

Looks like I use 200-500gb a month.

i highly doubt they will add any bandwidth limitations or tiered data plans, those are dead. Plus they are increasing speed and laying fiber in town, they killed the 250gb cap (that wasn't even enforced) a few years ago.
