Probably 4k streaming and gaming

Most people don't store in drives these days.

Uncapped net means people re-stream the same things over and over

Netflix at some point estimated a 7GB per Hour for 4K streaming, so 168G for a day. Some others sites reckon 14GB an hour for 4K, so 336GB / day worst case. Even at 14GB an hour, to stream 4K 24/7 for 365 days should get you to around 122640GB / Year (~ 119.77 TB / year). Still far less than this amount just for a single month.
To hit 137TB in a month means you are downloading (using) around 190 GB per hour, 24/7 for the whole month. 1.6 Petabytes per year in total if you are allowed continue along that trend.

I see the usage for this user unfortunately dwindled down in the following months, likely battling to find more cloud storage for all their internet backups. Either that, or someone mentioned something about Fair Usage Policies to them.

My highest monthly usage EVER was 717GB in August, which likely included an MS Flight Sim 2020 download on release day as well.
Seems like I am merely an amateur compared to some guys out there ;)

''The bill is expected to further regulate the use, marketing and sales of e-cigarettes or vapes in South Africa, with these products currently operating in a vacuum.
Government has also indicated that it plans to introduce further restrictions around the smoking of cigarettes in public places.

Deputy health minister Joe Phaahla said in May that government was in process of finalising the bill which will allow it to impose a 100% ban on smoking in public areas.''

South Africa’s new traffic laws will be “too frightening to imagine”
If South Africa’s new traffic laws are implemented next year, the injustices they will cause will be too frightening to imagine.

This is the view of Justice Project South Africa (JPSA) head Howard Dembovsky, who publicly endorsed a submission made by the Automobile Association of South Africa (AA) criticising the latest draft Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) regulations.
