I've been pirating for decades and never gave af how much I download in a day. Several hundred gigs on a weekend isn't unusual. Never got an ISP letter or had any issues, because I use private trackers.
To be clear, I'm implying that you don't know what you're talking about and you are giving nonsense advice.
if they're on a VPN, it doesn't matter if their ISP looks into it. and with the plethora of streaming apps out there today, it's uncommon if a customer isn't downloading dozens of GB of data every day. just a single movie on netflix is several GB right there, and if you're the sort of person who is bingwatching shows, you're going through dozens, maybe even a hundred or more gigabytes daily if you're a real couch potato.
and if your ISP did care enough to investigate why you were using a VPN, all you would have to do it tell them you're watching netflix and there's nothing they can do to prove otherwise unless your VPN is shit and is leaking your DNS.
