20 GB of data a day when I'm not home
Is Cox internet usage accurate? I read that 20 GB of data is 240 hrs of video streaming. How is it possible that I have used 20 GB of data in one day when i wasn't even home?

You're mixing speed and storage. A constant 25 Mbps (megabit...not megabyte) of data would be about 10 hours for 21 gigabits.
20 gigabytes of data, however, could be a couple HD movies.
6 gigabytes is 1 HD movie. (Nothing fancy just "standard" HD)
20 gigabytes of HD movies would be about 3 HD movies.
I've read on the Forum updates for video consoles are quite huge…perhaps 20 GB. A gamer would need to confirm.

recorded future programs may record when you're not there.

Do you have security cameras like Ring or Nest doorbells? If quality is set to high and 24/7 recording (or on motion and a tree or something is constantly setting it off) that could use a lot of data.
