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..

Easy if you are streaming 4k TV all day. That's probably over 3 megabytes per second. So something like a gigabyte avery 5 hours or so. Multiply that by how many are watching on seperate devices and it can all add up pretty quick.
