How much mobile data do you use?

I recently switched from T-Mobile 5GB 4G/LTE (after 5gbs of 4G speed throttled to 2G unlimited), to a completely Unlimited 4G data plan.  Since I don't have to worry about a data cap anymore, I realized that already used 30gb of data just after two weeks(streaming shows and movies mostly).  

 

So I became curious, what is your typical amount of MOBILE data usage?

Holy balls that a lot of data (to me). I have 2GB/mo with US Cellular and I maybe just barely break 1GB/mo. I think the most I've ever used was ~1.75GB in a month, and that was when my internet went down for a whole week while at school....

I have a 100 Meg data limit, I hit said limit within 2 weeks at most, so probably about 100 or so megabytes a week

6-10 gb per month. Never use the hot spot and always use wi-fi when available. I get 2.5gb of lte then unlimited 2g.

Because snap chat was bugged out using excessive data.

 Well, now that I think about it, I suppose a large part of it is that I am almost always connected to WiFi..... Like, 95% of the time.... Soooooooo... yeah....

I am to, but at school we have wifi, but speeds drop to .25mb/s at times. at those times its easier and faster to just tether. thats why almost all my data is tethering

Yeah same here, I'm at university and the connection is slow because of all the traffic bogging down the connection. I just gave up and mostly only use my phone for internet.

I have a 3GB mobile data plan, not much so I dont use it much. I find myself using about 2GB a month.

 

Sometimes I will come close to the edge though. (2990MB one month a while back lol)
