The Google Home Speaker Has Been Secretly Eating My Wi-Fi Data

My Smart Home Devices Have Been Secretly Eating My Wi-Fi Data, and I'm Not Alone My Google Home Speaker had been burning through more data than all the rest of my devices combined. As I looked into it further, I found other smart home devices that had the same problem. If you had to estimate how much data your smart speaker was using over the course of a couple of weeks, would you guess three terabytes? That's what one Google Home Speaker user discovered when he checked his home Wi-Fi's usage, according to Reddit posts reported on by 9to5Google. The Google Gemini-powered smart speakers have apparently been downloading huge amounts of data to the device over the past two weeks, which could put a serious damper on your Wi-Fi network.
