You have correctly guessed that they must be using media. But why your persistent attempts to declare the default state of media consumption as being from illegal sources???

Even your average HD stream in Netflix only has 5GB tops, as opposed to MKVs starting with 5GB, usually having 10GB and in a 1:1 BlueRay Rip exceed 20GB.
There's certainly your occasional retiree, watching 15 hours of Netflix and reaching the limit of his bandwidth. But the vast majority of users exceeding 100GB per day (and that's not once, that's every single day, else your bandwidth doesn't get capped) only can be pirates.
Yes, my neighbor as a web developer exceeds his limit occasionally. We have the same ISP, so we exchange data about performance, stability and such a lot. Even he, as a power user, will exceed this enormous limit only a few times per month, never on a daily basis.
And if you consider, that ISPs even have changed the small print of their contracts already, this kind of traffic has to be in a significant dimension.
