20 Jan - 19 Feb - 693GB
20 Feb - 19 Mar - 697GB
20 Mar - 19 Apr - 1236GB
20 Apr - now - 695GB

Huge spike last month, and I’m sure a decent chunk of that was some HUGE call of duty downloads on the PS4. 3 person household, 2 of us working at home since level 2 started. Thought it would’ve been a bit more considering.

Power bill paints a similar picture, slight jump but nothing major. Most of that could probably be put down to more lighting being used due to earlier sunsets.

Out of interest, what do you use to measure your usage? I'd be curious to see how much I'm going through!

Ah, thanks; I didn't realise that that was still 'a thing' (my last two ISPs didn't offer it) but my current ISP (Voyager) does. 800 GB last month...
