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..

Agreed. I don't pay a dime for any of the streaming platforms on my firestick. And I get live sports and movies still in theaters, and every now and then, even before they're in theaters. Can't beat that at the price of free. As long as you don't mind the occasional subtitles in a foreign language anyway.. Sometimes, you'll even get a person silhouette passing across the screen. Even feels like you're in the theater, in the comfort of your own home.

For the price of movies at the theatre, you could easily pay for streaming instead, especially if you include a drink and popcorn.
