Netflix’s biggest bingers get hit with higher internet costs

A big thing you're missing is games. I've just looked at my Xbox One:

* Hitman 2 - 104GB

* Elder Scrolls Online - 103GB

* Halo 5 - 99GB

* Forza 7 - 99GB

* Destiny 2 - 89GB

* Quantum Break - 160GB (including episodes which you would otherwise have to stream)

And it's pulling 34GB in updates (two games: 27GB + 7GB) without me even knowing (without explicitly checking). A single game using 10% of my cap is not reasonable IMO.

4K video too, which is only going to grow. And maybe cloud game streaming like xCloud/Stadia.
