Bandwidth Usage During Suspended Data Caps

Comcast suspended data caps about mid-March and resumed it Jul 1st.

Jan 2020 = 823 GB
Feb 2020 = 873 GB
Mar 2020 = 4150 GB
Apr 2020 = 5342 GB
May 2020 = 3194 GB
Jun 2020 = 2985 GB

One thing is that with so much Twitch watching I had a lot of stuff I wanted to download. I don't have the hard drive space to keep downloading 2 to 4 TB of stuff every month, so it would have tapered off probably closer to 1.5 TB per month.

As Jan and Feb show, Twitch and other videos are about 800 GB per month. That greatly increased when so many more people started streaming during isolation. I'll be struggling to keep it down to less than 1.2 TB per month of the current data cap. Hopefully by the end of the year Sonic will have finished building out and I can switch to their fiber Internet.
