| Conina said: I have around 1 TB data per month (Steam, Origin, PSN, XBL + iTunes downloads + hundreds of automatic game updates every month + YouTube + Amazon Instant Video streaming). No torrents! Last month only 850 GB, but last November I topped 2 TB (additional to the usual, I redownloaded a lot of PS4 games due to my switch from PS4 to PS4 Pro and many games with huge downloads were on sale):
On the other hand, we don't need much data volume for our mobile devices. My phone has 50 - 200 MB traffic per month, the rest of the family is way below that... so we "consume the internet" mostly at home. Our costs are quite affordable: around € 50 per month for the whole package (telephone land line + 100 Mbit internet with no data cap + 4 phone/internet SIM cards for mobile devices + all telephone calls). All our TVs are connected to our satellite dish, so no extra costs for cable TV (except the €210 governmental broadcasting fee). So around €600 per year + €50 for Amazon Prime (will be €70 next year) + a few bucks for Netflix or Sky ticket for selected months + €210 TV fee... around €900 in total.

Without cable we're paying about € 130 per month for 270GB data at max 10 up / 50 mbps down, landline and 1 cell phone with 500 MB per month. (It's the smallest amount which we never get close too as it's always connected through wifi, 80MB usage last month)
With TV and netflix included -> € 2325 a year. It should go a down € 160 euros for the next year since the limit went up to 500GB (cause that makes sense), then up € 320 for the year after. You basically have to complain again when the current promotions run out or they just keep charging more and more...
We actually still have OTA tv here, some in full HD, free broadcasts which you can pick up with a $150 UHF digital antenna. The channel selection is very limited ofcourse plus you need your own recording equipment and have no build in tv guide etc.
