Data Usage for console streaming

Data usage is going to vary from user to user, depending on the individuals use.

While data usage for initial setup would be minimal, the downloading of games can eat up data rather quickly. With many games being in the 50 GB range, some can be as high as 100+ GB each. Apps, web browsing, TV/Movie streaming etc. will all contribute to
total usage... it doesn't take long to add up.

...have you started a new multiplayer game never used before August? are you using too much streaming from console? Like Netflix or Mixer or Twitch....

I think that the amount of data displayed on the console is a bit bugged, BUT you really goes over the 1TB limit of your provider, so something is wrong on the average data usage.

if you are streaming a lot of 4k content on youtube, netflix and other services and also downloading games then usage will be high, if not then there is no possibility of the xbox using that amount of data.

We pay an extra, lump sum, on a monthly basis to have our data cap removed (Canada).

Keep a close eye on your usage, if you have a data cap. With 3 Xboxes, 1 PS4, 4 gaming computers, tablets, cell phones, and 4 TVs streaming Netflix at the highest quality, we’ve had months just in excess of 2TB of downloaded/streamed data.

Hey LadyJadey,

Thanks for posting, and sorry to see the high bandwidth usage! Has your Xbox One's data usage looked accurate after 5/31? This may have been a visual bug, and your Xbox One console most likely has not reached anywhere near 3,600 TB of data usage. The most
reliable tool to check internet usage will be through your ISP. Any bandwidth usage your Xbox One console actually uses will reflect on the ISP side. I would not worry about your Xbox One console using that much data unless your ISP is reflecting the same
amount of usage.

Hope this helps clear up the issue!
