VIDEO on DEMAND service..... Data usage

How much data does VOD chows? eg netflix etc

Obviously the more you watch the more it uses.
What can one safely assume to be the amount of data one would require to watch VOD effortlessly per calendar month?

Depends on the quality of the stream. Some services will lower the quality to avoid buffering. Some content can be downloaded to be watched later. In which case the quality of the video will dictate the size of the file. And then there is also the quality of the screen. You wouldn't select a 4K stream if your screen can only handle 1080p.

For a good quality video bank on about 1Gb per hour. 3 hours of video a day works out to about 100Gb a month.
