ISP + Line: Atomic Access + Frogfoot
Speed: 200/200
Users: 5/6, but more like 3/4
Data used:
220GB on my laptop,
~300GB on my work machine
TV is probably around the 150GB mark
two other desktops around the 150GB mark each,
Other laptop around 100GB
Last two home laptops shouldn't be much, around 20-50GB I'd hazard.
Other two work laptops probably around 30-50GB each due to numerous video conferencing.
Total: ~1TB.

This month is out of the norm though, usually I'd guess we do around 400GB, just all the work machines and currently hosuehold getting bored of games way faster than normal so downloading lots of new ones for trialing.

Rain LTE (in the area that actually worked) - Unlimited Off Peak (R 250.00) Sim
Total Usage was 922 GB - Netflix, Xbox Updates And Downloads etc.
Cancelled the 24/7 Uncapped (R 479.00) Sim - No usage reported on it - was completely useless.
