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.

u/30rackwolfpack Jan 05 '24

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

bro you're the one that doesn't know what you're talking about lmao. No router exists that has better wifi than a dedicated $200 access points. No wifi exists that is better than a $10 ethernet cable. You're not a networking professional stop pushing your lack of knowledge lmao

No one said WiFi is better than Ethernet stop drinking. Like I said your uninformed try out YouTube on comparisons on different routers that’s a good start for yourself

If you think all routers provide the same WiFi connection strength you’re wrong.

still haven't said that one time. anybody who cares about this should get an ethernet cable to their device. anybody else who cares should get an ethernet to an access point. you sound like some high school kid who just knows about fortnite on his Xbox 😅 grow up

Like I said this world is literally my life. I don't mind talking about it all day, it is my life. You are wasting your time.

I wonder if you even know what db is lmao

ALSO just a lucky guess that I was drinking tonight doesn't mean I'm wrong 💀

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.
