Streaming Netflix Data usage
How much data should a 1 hour movie streamming from Netflix use? My At&t homebase bill last month was almost a thousand dollars. If this is going to continue I can rent movies cheaper. I have never used this much data streamming with other methods of internet connections. Why does the "HomeBase" use so much data? What can I do to reduce my usage when watching Netflix?

Based on ATT's data calculator, 1 hr of streaming an HD show is equivalent to 2.5 GB.

I don't know if this is the answer, but think so.....In your Netflix settings the resolution can be set to Good Better or Best. By default it's set to Best---Changing to Better will cut your data usage in half. I stream all day every day with a Fire Stick and Philo and my usage runs about 300 GB a month. NO WHERE NEAR THE TB MAXIMUM. When I had it on BEST it was high data usage. Also see is there maybe a setting on Firestick. I know there's a place to change that setting on Roku's under Preferences in your account. I'm using a Firestick right now and don't have those settings
