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?
543MiB last month. I mostly use the cell data for maps and messaging
My phone plan is $5 a month, for 100gib, after I hit the cap the speed gets limited to 384kbps… I’m no where near hitting my monthly cap.
I snatched a no-monthly-payment plan sometime around 2010, and am holding to it for dear life — even though it hasn’t been offered to new clients for a long time. Thankfully, where I am, the provider can’t change the defining conditions of my plan.
I rarely call anyone, and don’t use the internet on the phone outside of WiFi networks (I listen to downloaded podcasts and read downloaded articles instead, and use OsmAnd for maps). Which means that the fifteen bucks that I paid over three years ago still haven’t been used.
Less than 2GB for me. I only get 2GB cuz prepaid. I don’t have anybody to text or videochat and I can’t stand browsing the web on small screens. My phone is low end and even then, I don’t like spending my time using it for gaming. I personally don’t like putting important stuff on it since somebody can steal it from me. I basically just use it for calling.
4GBish a month. I pay 25$ a month for 16gb
It varies, but so far this month (day 11) I’m at 80GB and 300GB a month isn’t unusual. At home and work I typically get 500+ Mbps download so I don’t tend to bother with WiFi. I’m currently paying £12/mo for a SIM-only service.
You don’t use WiFi at all and all traffic is by phone? Wow that sounds intense
Looks like 47 GiB across two lines last month.
We only use WiFi at home, not when out
I’m not seeing that itemized in my bill or providers portal. However I do pay for unlimited data so maybe they think it doesn’t matter
I looked at the year in review and I am the lowest data usage in my family with 48G last year. However I have poor cell reception at home so am usually on WiFi
It’s in your phone under your mobile connection
depends if I watch porn without wifi or not
Without wifi, my question is for phone traffic while you are not latched onto any wifi or broadband
620MB of data from last months usage. Generally all my data is via Wi-Fi as well.
That makes sense if it includes all your at home usage. So you can’t see the traffic on your phone while you are not on wifi?
The Wi-Fi data for the same period was 104GB
72,08GB so far in this month. Needed to do some searching on my phone as i did not know where to see it.
I’m reliably 7-8GB. It’s kind of impressive, honestly, since I don’t think I’m too consistent day to day
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
Last month I used 1.6GB.
I had no idea so I went to check. I get over 75GB in my plan but I never go above 20. Currently sitting at 8 for the last 30 days. Non-carrier data usage does indeed exceed 75GB though :)
According to my phone I use around 4/6GB per month (I have an unlimited plan). But I’m guessing you’re in the US or Canada, I’m always boggled when I remember that data is expensive to you guys.
I’m in Australia. Bad Internet
It’s not. Unlimited plans are ubiquitous and can be had for pretty cheap.
