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.

I do around 0.75tb per day, so like 22 per month. A lot of that is probably seeding and streaming as 90% of it is upload.
I do about a terabyte of traffic a day. All you good folks are seeding linux ISO’s… right?
I know, that’s why I’m asking.
What’s your number M8?
About 10TiB/mo, mostly seeding
Thank you for using TiB.
Does that help somehow? You find TiB easier to grasp mentally than TB?
Well, at least when someone says TiB, you don’t need to wonder if they actually mean something that is 10% more or not. Because quite often, TB (Terabyte) is written/said when the actual measurement was in TiB (Tebibyte)
Plus TiB are based on powers of two instead of ten which makes more sense for computers. It’s not really a practical difference (2 vs 10, not the size difference which is significant) a lot of the time but I personally find powers of two more pleasing.
Further question: do you really need to wonder if someone actually means TB or TiB? I rarely find that it matters in the great scheme of things, unless you’re buying hard drives. In which case you already know they’re using TB. 👍
This month thus far, 31tb.
Got to be a hoarder, or a subcontractor for the WayBack Machine.
Neither, actually.
Wanted to flex my huge upload numbers, but turns out i’m down to 20 Tb a month! Guess next few nights will be spent trying to figure out what happened.
Between 8-12tb… Backups…
800 - 900 GB per month, 2 adults and 2 minors. Moderate downloading from usenet, all services local, only reachable using wireguard.
Sounds like us, ta
Router has 35d uptime, WAN interface stats shows Tx/Rx 3,9TB / 28TB. Most of the downstream is obviously IPTV and other streaming services, upstream is mostly offsite backups.
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?
Not much clearly
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.
One time doubled that in a single night redownloading my steam library
About 1.5TB out / 500GB in.
Never thought this’d be a rookie number but I bet I’m certainly in that Top 1% with my ISP.
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.
Usually between 2-3TB. My ISP has a 4TB soft cap. I’ve hit that a few times
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?
Am I technogrouch for continuing to watch video at no more than 1080p?
I rarely watch any video. Video tutorials just aren’t as informative to me, than if you read the exact same material. If it’s a tutorial on something mechanical, where part x has to line up with part z, or the wheels fall off, sure.
I only just recently UPGRADED to 1080. I spent the better part of the last decade only dealing in 720p.
My TV has been 1080 forever, I plan on upgrading to 4k for HDR, miniLED. I might try some 4k stuff 🤷♂️
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)
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.
