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.
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.
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.
I do about a terabyte of traffic a day. All you good folks are seeding linux ISO’s… right?
50-100TB
@[email protected] over here downloading the whole internet.
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.
This month thus far, 31tb.
Got to be a hoarder, or a subcontractor for the WayBack Machine.

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)
Not sure. Depends on how many of my family are using our home services that month and how often and from where.
I know I will regularly hit my mobile providers soft cap of 80GB at some point in the middle of the month on just my cell phone.
I figure the household hard line probably sees 3 or 4 TB per month at a minimum.
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
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
Usually between 2-3TB. My ISP has a 4TB soft cap. I’ve hit that a few times
One time doubled that in a single night redownloading my steam library
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.
Just over 8 tb since yesterday, just on getting my trove (RPG) of Linux isos
Over the last 6 months have averaged 200gb per day with a peak of 2.4tb in one day
