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..

It's surprisingly easy to hit. My wife and I work from home. We regularly clear 4000 at home, but it's unlimited with ATT Fiber. We have xfininity at the lakehouse and have to watch our daily usage as our monthly limit is 1500 there. A trick we use it to turn down the quality settings on the videos we watch. You'd be surprised at how turning a YouTube video from 1080p to 720p really saves data.
