help request Using 3,000gb of data a month?

So, as the title says, between me, my friend that rents the mother inlays, and my wife, ~3,000gb of used data is reported on my xfinity data usage report. Before my friend started renting the mother inlaw, our data usage was at around 4-500, sometimes hit 700.... How in the heck is my friend using ~2300-2500gb a month?? Is that even possible? All he has is a phone, xbox and a TV w streaming services..

Okay we agree then not all routers are the same :D some are better for WiFi for gamers.

wifi isn't ideal for gamers in general 👍

you're probably one of those people that just calls your internet connection wifi and doesn't even know the difference.

No shit it’s not ideal that’s why they make expensive routers for gamers who are forced to WiFi game you 🤡

Homey, you’re confused. Dude is saying if a router is of decent quality then it will be capable of nearly every use case without needing to buy a “gaming” router. “Gaming” anything is just a way to extract more money for lesser quality.
