So I go starlink as Openreach can’t reach us with full fiber, in the starlink app I looked at our first month’s data and we had used nearly 500gb. This month so far, we are up to 765gb.

Is that a lot for a homelab house?

I also don’t have all my services here, I have most at OVH.

    Just the servers this month 31,7TiB and 3,4TiB. Yearly 563,6TiB and 54,2TiB. This does not count computers or other devices.

    For a fair comparisson, take the smaller server, that one is acting as a more normal service, hosting Nextcloud and Immich among other daily life things.

    Not sure. Depends on how many of my family are using our home services that month and how often and from where.

    I know I will regularly hit my mobile providers soft cap of 80GB at some point in the middle of the month on just my cell phone.

    I figure the household hard line probably sees 3 or 4 TB per month at a minimum.

    800 - 900 GB per month, 2 adults and 2 minors. Moderate downloading from usenet, all services local, only reachable using wireguard.

    My ISP does not have a data cap or anything like that so I pay no attention to that. What are you doing that you only use that much?

    I rarely go over 1TB per month at home. It’s usually closer to 500GB. My seedbox goes through several TB per month with all of those Linux ISOs though.

      I try to hit 15TB/mo automatically fetching the latest Linux ISOs for ratio. I paid for 20TB so I’m gonna use it!

      Only about .5-1TB/mo personally.

    I continue to be astonished at how much data people are getting through.

    Am I technogrouch for continuing to watch video at no more than 1080p?

      I watch stuff at 1080p but 1.5x-2x. A 1h video at that with 6kbps and 60fps can be quite consuming especially if a lot is happening. Have that on in the background for 8h plus doing other stuff (gotta pull docker images, or the blackhole that is npm) and you get over 10GB daily easily. Add a modern game or two a month and you’re above 1TiB/month.

      even basic fullhd can pull several gigs per hour, per stream.

      my adopted dad used to hit their old 8gb per month jetpak quota in one weekend just refreshing a local auction site (they don’t stream or so much other than email and banking at home otherwise)
