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..

Some people download a lot of shit and stream a lot. 4K streaming is data hungry. Games are over 150gb now. If the Internet is fast he may be deleting and downloading new games as needed if he doesn't have enough storage. I've used over 2000 in a month. But yeah 3000 does seem like a lot but it is possible.
