Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that doesn’t justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like a hippo
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

I guess I haven’t really compared my usage to others in quite some time. I did think it’d be defensible given there’s usually a 80GB+ patch or game install each month but just didn’t want the hassle of having to explain each month if I could avoid it.

Yeah, you usage is pretty normal these days, for the reason you describe. You're not the only one having to download 80GB updates or 150GB games off Steam, pretty common these days.

Here's our usage for the past few months. Just changed to this ISP in December which is why that's so low:

graph of internet usage showing over 6000GB almost every month

It did actually surprise me to learn how much we use. At the last ISP they didn't tell you how much you used, so I never knew. When we switched to this ISP I thought something must be wrong 😆
