Northern Territory residents have claimed the unlikely mantle of being the most data hungry in the country when it comes to internet use.
Territorians topped a table of monthly data use per home for 2020, published by Telstra on Thursday.
They downloaded an average 327.98 gigabytes per month, the equivalent of 82 high definition movies.
Victorians were next. They downloaded 316.17 gigabytes per month and spent more time confined to their homes due to the coronavirus.
Queensland was third (316.19 gigabytes), then NSW (286.38 gigabytes), the ACT (283.56 gigabytes), South Australia (283.09 gigabytes), Western Australia (282.71 gigabytes) and Tasmania (276.12 gigabytes).
Telstra also identified the suburbs which downloaded the most data.
Top of the list was the outer Melbourne suburb of Williams Landing.
A recently developed area with plenty of units, the average home there downloaded 567.70 gigabytes over the course of the year.
Next were the Sydney and Newcastle suburbs of Edmondson Park and Shortland respectively, followed by Huntfield Heights in Adelaide and Oakleigh South in Melbourne.
Gamers downloading updates to the first person shooter game Call of Duty was the most common reason for spikes in demand.
The data was compiled from January 1 to mid-December, and covers Telstra home broadband services.

Really is that all?
I've done 2.8TB last month and currently 1.2TB so far
