How Much Mobile Data do you Use a Month?

[edmund81]

Just out of interest, how much Mobile Data do you reckon you use a month? I know the UK average is quite low, but I'm guessing it would be more here.

When in 3G circles, it easily crosses 5-6 gigs.Else, it is in 30-100MB(max) range.

 

[maxwellchen125]

5? i think

 

[vv.bbcc19]

using 3G for internet takes about 200 MB for a month.
People have started downloading movies too..so take that count to 2 GB per month..not more than that.

I use less than 200MB a month usually, unless i'm using my mobile phone as a modem, then that figure increases almost ten-fold.

Last month I used about 1300MB of my 1024MB cap, so I got my speed cut for a few days. So far this month I've used 167MB

1300MB is quite alot... lol

I generally use about a gigabyte, which would suck on most mobile networks in the UK but I'm on giffgaff - unlimited data, no FUP.

None, as I don't use any form of Wireless communications here. A person's bill/service wouldn't stand a chance if I used it due to the sheer amount of data I use. The data limit/overage charges might not stand true with some providers, but at least in the US, a 5GB Cap would be gone within the day. If it wasn't used as my primary connection though but more as a backup, it would probably be no more than 100MB due to how congested every tower is in this area. Pretty much enough to IM and check e-mail but nothing else.

As for my home's usage, last month I was at roughly 1TB of usage over the DSL.

Woah! You like downloading movies... lol

I don't download movies or anything unlawful by any means. We just have a lot of computers in the house, I'm on the computer all the time along with a bunch of others and we all watch YouTube in HD for example. Mostly Streaming content that eats our bandwidth up if it isn't from Steam or other activity I'm doing on the network.

5-10GB on average.

 

[warlordste]

prob about a gig i use it for my phone and playbook and with accessing and fixing sites on the go it soon adds up

 

[callumacrae]

5-10GB on average.

On a phone?!

On a phone?!

Ya know, I think constantly uploading and downloading HD video on a phone will do that lol. It might also be possible he's tethering or are running a Torrent client from their phone (lol).

I don't think it is not entirely impossible to cross that 10GB mark on an average if that is his only connection!
I recently met a bloke(a new recruit) who had an internet plan where the minimum assured speed was "just" 14.4 Mbps and the maximum possible speed was a mediocre 21.1 Mbps, but that came with an astronomical price though(almost equal to his current salary and that too without taxes!).

We actually had a bet whether he would attend a nature's call or phone call! xD
But, he seems like a really likeable guy, he never uses his office computer for his private use.
Sadly, he complains a lot that “this time his ISP outdid his brand new high-end cellphone (maximum possible download speed being “only” 10 Mbps)”.
Still, wondering why is he paying more for something that he really can’t have right now!

In his plan, FAP/FUP is implemented in a slightly different way than it usually is.
Here, the speeds remain at the speeds that was assured (with maximum possible being 21 Mbps) even after crossing a certain limit but a new billing starts where he has to pay per MB.

So yeah, money not being a constrain, that is possible even on a cellphone!

Lots of tethering, no torrenting.
