In our household 200Mbps approaches not fast enough when everyone is using, such that we’re upgrading to 1Gbps.

With improved speeds usage patterns change. 5 years ago we would barely crack 150GB/month, and now we’re pushing 1TB/month.

What apps/services sucks up the bandwidth? I know 7-person families (where everyone has a computer/tablet) that are happy with 50 Mbps.
