How much data would we be using if we have 2 streaming netflix boxes? My youngest tends to watch cartoons on it throughout the day since we dont have cable in her room and we play 6-7 movies over the weekend during the evenings/late night



Depending on quality settings, and how much a day... easily well over 100GB a month.

Looks like someone had a couple big days with the torrents. Not a criticism...just analysis. I can't consume 22GB streaming netflix for 24 hours. If I download torrents...I can peg 50GB in no time.

We don't have any torrents/torrent applications, so that isn't a possibility.

edit: I spoke with a tech @ tier 2. She said that HD quality video is 3 gbs per hours worth of video, that coupled with an SD stream for my daughters setup and it looks like this might be our culprit but it just seems quite insane given that the viewing habits in our household haven't changed at all.

She suggested I do things I'd already done, scanned system, check wifi, reconfig wifi, etc. The only thing at this point that i can explain it is the netflix streaming, which again I don't understand how the values sky rocketed from 75gb the last 5 months to 260 in aug and 202 in sept..

i think i was still using netflix streaming in july. i looked at my monthly usage and i was about 5 gigs away from my 250 cap in july. then i stopped using netflix and it just super dropped. i'm not even close to 100 gigs a month use anymore. i still torrent like crazy though. gg.
