So since I'm using my Gnex as a walking hot spot when my girlfriend is in town from Canada (she has a Gnex from Canada and tethers through my phone for interweb access 24/7) and I use it to tether my laptop and tablet, as well as just every day Gnex use, I'm 21 days into my Verizon plan and have used 6 gigs of data. So I'll probably hit 10 gigs a month through my phone.

I'm wondering what others are experiencing data wise?

Granted this is just Verizon Data... lord knows what I've done via wifi since I have wifi at home.

(using Codename 1.4 ROM)

I normally hit around 2 - 2.5 GB of data. I don't do any tethering though.

This is my first month on Big Red. So right now I've been using Wi-Fi a lot. But I feel I should be using my 4gb more. How fast does 4gb go?

I have only gotten close to using 4GB once. It was when I was downloading and flashing between several ROMs. As long as you don't do anything like tethering, you should be fine with 4GB.

I average about 8 gigs per month. No tethering, and I'm always on Wi-Fi at home. I download a lot of podcasts to my phone though during the day while I'm working so that is what most of it is. Thankfully I'm on the unlimited data plan.

I use less than 2GB a month, but I don't tether anymore and I attach to wifi as much as possible. Funny thing is that I am granfathered in with unlimited data.

I average about 3gigs. I would do way more if I didn't have to think about the battery. I work outdoors and not close to a charger.

This month I've used 2.6 GB with my cycle ending today. With no wifi where I live, and only used tethering to update my Xoom to ICS. Most I've used was 6-7 GB with a lot of Netflix and YouTube watching.
