I rarely use over 2GB of data per month. Usually most of my data traffic happens over wifi. Curious.
If you want to know why I’m asking:
My phone provider just decided to upgrade my subscription plan some ridiculous amount. I was on a cheap prepaid 18GB every 28 days plan, with data rollover. (I got nearly 900 GB of rollover data just sitting there, accumulated over the years).
Now they increased both their price and data cap about +60%. For me this is absolutely unnecessary. I was already paying for more than what I used.
Then I tried to switch providers, and realized this is the new baseline in the country, at least for monthly prepaid. Eventually I found a few providers that offer something more affordable, but it’s only long expiry plans with a lot less data. Works for me though, not complaining.
I’m just surprised with the sheer amounts in most monthly plans, am I some kind of low usage freak?
I’m sitting on around 4.5gb with a third of the cycle to go. That’s high for me, would be under 1gb if I wasn’t watching the cricket for a bit on Boxing Day.
I’m mostly on the network at home or playing music from the memory card so don’t need much at all, but 20gb is the lowest available with my provider.
Similar case as mine, and yes I’m also disappointed there isn’t a lower option available
