For cell, hardly anything, I have a 750MB cap which is kinda low so I only use it in oddball situations. In general I don't do much data transfers on my cell. Sitting at 2MB for the month lol. That's probably from misc traffic that happens in the background while I'm out of wifi range.

At home, no idea, since they got rid of the RRD graphs in pfsense. I'm still pissed at that. I never looked into another way to monitor my usage. I have pushed TBs in days at times, but in average I probably use no more than like 200-300GB/mo. Thankfully I have no cap for my home internet so I don't really have to worry about how much I use.

I barely use 1 GB on 4G

Though at home our family uses 900 GB to 1.2 TB a month

Cell phone maybe a few hundred MBs. I have a 2.5GB allotment. I rarely use it though and always use WIFI at home. When I'm out of the home I just use LTE. I don't trust the open WIFI even though I can launch my VPN App.

Home Internet I probably use 5 GB a month if that. I don't use Netflix and what have you. I had Netflix once and all I used it for was watching the entire X-Files show.

A few MB for texts with pics. Everything else I try to do over wifi. I should mention I don't depend on my phone for everything and have offline maps/nav so that's a large part of why such a low rate.

~150MB on my cell phone. 95% of time on Wifi. Home use is moving up since we cut the cord and stream everything. I would say we are avg around 900GB a month now. Dropped comcast and went with Centurylink DSL in Sept. No data caps.

Usually around 1TB down and 3TB up. This month it's 1.5/3.1.
Zero on cell. I don't see how people can get addicted to a computer with a terrible UI and a tiny screen.

No idea. My usage is split up between a prepaid cell I use as my home connection via hotspot, my work provided cell service, and my connection at work.
