Have I mentioned how much I hate comcast.

There are many variables to keep you from going over the limit and from my experience they (COMCAST) will not help you one bit. They won't give you the sweat off a grape. But I will.

First thing. Roku or Fire Stick? One starter simple thing to do is go back to the home screen before you turn off any TV you have a Streaming device on otherwise you are using Data around the clock. Do this relentlessly.

Second thing if you can take it set your television sets to 720 instead of 1080. It uses less data.

Third thing learn how to track your usage on the Comcast site.

We have 4 TV'S 2 Desktops 2 Laptops & 2 Cell Phones on Wi-Fi. Monthly usage now about 800 Jiggawatts. We went over the limit the second month we were Streaming.

One other thing someone could be helping themselves to your Wi-Fi. Good Luck. If I could conquer this problem trust me, you can. Good Luck.
