How much cellular data do you guys use?


Data cap? Nonsense:

^This was a light month too, I plan on using more this month :P.

See and I thought I was basically the heaviest user! But I can totally see myself using that much, unfortunately my hotspot is capped at 5 GB a month (I always end up using it within a week) but I love T-Mob and don't plan on switching. Personally I actually find it strange that people can live with 3 GB a month, but many people do, so there must be a way  :D

 

SIdenote: are you streaming 4K YouTube like damn son

THE VECTOR:

Intel Core i5-4690 @ stock - Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H - EVGA GTX 770 SC - A-DATA XPG 2.0 16GB 1866 - Cooler Master N200 - Seagate 1 TB Hybrid Drive - Corsair CX600M - ASUS VX238H 23" 1080p

Usually somewhere between 3-5GB, but I like to use my hotspot every now and then, so I'll easily rack up 10GB+. Good thing I'm on an unlimited data plan.

I typically use between 1-2GB Data each month, mostly because I've got WiFi or Broadband Cable everywhere I go.

Spotify slurps up most of that bandwidth; although I've got 6GB / month to use for ~$67 CAD after taxes, including my minutes and texting.

I am on a 30gb shared business plan. I use about 12gb of it on average. I used to be unlimited, and would consume close to 20gb when I knew I had no limits. The adjustment down to 12gb was hard for me. I have had to stop streaming podcasts, Netflix, and youtube everywhere I go unless I find wifi. Starbucks parking lots have become my friend during my lunch break.

~500MB

For the first 150MB the speed is 2Mbit/s up and 4Mbit/s down.

After exceeding the 150MB the speed is capped to 100kbit/s up and 64kbit/s down.

Actually mobile data is as fast as dial up for me. :) it's fun.

@QueenDemetria @kirashi Can you please turn down your resolution please? my tablet screen is stuffing up because of oversized images

 

edit: @faissaloo the question was how much you use, not get. There is a big difference.

I used to use about 15GB per month when I was on T-Mobile with unlimited with no slowdown cap, but I never turned off my data even at home, and I used it for tethering a bit. Now that I switched to AT&T I am limited to 4GB high speed data which I tend to use about 3.5 GB. I am actually loving the switch as it is cheaper, and I get LTE everywhere I go instead of just the city I live in.

Not sure how you turn down a phone's resolution... there's no control panel like Windows and it's not rooted.

I'll just scale down the photo next time.

It does, but it's virtually impossible to use.

I have 6gb a month and I use pretty much all of it. I wish they would get rid of data caps but the artificial scarcity is how they get away with charging people $75/month for 500mb of data here in Canada.

  • 4 weeks later...

Before we had internet at the house... 100-235gb

I pay $80 a month for Unlimited data on Sprint and use 100~120 GB of data a month on Sprint. I pay Comcast $40 a month for 50Mbps down and 10Mbps up (I usually get around 60Mbps down and 12Mbps up) and I use somewhere around 20TB of data on Comcast every month.

Could you add a 0 GBs option?

 

I have PAYG so it costs me quite a lot to use mobile data (1p per mb)
