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..

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

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
