Hi there. Last month, our home internet usage was 7TB (family of 2 adults, 2 kids) on 1gb/512Mb fibre. Just inquisitive on what your family’s total internet usage is? Cheers…

250GB - 650GB per month, average looks to be around 400GB. Two adults, one 9 year old. One adult works at home every day, lots of video calls. We do streaming Netflix / Disney, no gaming, five PCs plus tablets, phones, etc. I wonder what the population average is - probably considerably less than the GZ average.

One adult, around 200Gb per month. A bit more in winter when I'm watching TV frequently, a bit less in summer when I'm doing outdoor things in the evenings.

I'm between ISP's at the moment, just left Spark and started with Sky, so wasn't able to find some actual numbers. However, two adults, comfortably under a terabyte a month and want to say approx 500-700Gb from my memory of looking at the stats in recent months.

On average with 2 adults, streaming all TV etc, and me working from home 90% of the time on 1000/500 it works out to around 1.2tb/mo. With some months being north of 2.5tb depending on what Im doing work wise.
