Big difference is that most households in a neighborhood use about the same amount of water or the same amount of electricity. I'd feel safe saying that 95% of my neighbors fall within a factor of 2 of my usage.
Water and electricity usage is also very predictable.
But Internet usage can vary a lot between households and between days. I could easily see there being quite a few people consuming a factor of 10 less bytes than me and also there being some number using a factor of 3 or so more than me, and this can also change a lot from one day to the next.
