Yeah thats understandable; but 800GB of data from two roku 2 xs boxes that can only stream 1080P video? He only watches the news, albeit all day. I never even touched 50% when I lived there downloading XBONE digital titles.

    Streaming video uses a ton of data. I had the same problem. I left twitch on all day while I was at work so my dog wouldn't hear outdoor noises and bark all day. Did that for maybe 7 days and got the first data warning I'd ever gotten. Even downloading games and playing extended sessions of online multiplayer didn't use anywhere near as much.
