I broke my all time record for data usage. 20 Gigs on my Bionic. I am trying for 25 gigs next month.

Can I ask what you do? Stream Netflix all day? That's insane!!!

[Super_Mario]

The most I ever used was 15 gigs... But I usually average around 10.

20gb a month is absolutely nothing.

[Just a Guy]

A guy I work with was bragging about going over 100gb's a few weeks back. I want to say he was around 110-115............

And THIS is why the carriers are starting to throttle.

exactly, because of dummies like this is why we have tiered plans now

I average about 15 gigs every month.

20 GB/mo is nothing, especially since people are starting to run their households off of VZ mobile hotspots. If you have the fully-paid 4G unlimited legacy plan with hotspot and minimum voice plan, which runs like $105, you're paying like $5.25 per GB... that's ~$3/GB less than what VZ is charging new customers, so strongly suspecting VZ is going to kill legacy unlimited plans down the road. Until then, party on Wayne...

And people like the op are gonna be the first one raising hell about it.

Spot on.

Additionally, it's one thing to use a lot of data, it's another to be actively trying to break your record. Are you going to leave it on at night streaming just to use extra data? Maybe that's not what you meant, but, that's how it comes across.

[MattMJB0188]

My normal usage with my iPhone was around 2-3GB. I'd say that's normal. Maybe 4-5GB on an LTE phone. I can't see spending hours on the phone downloading movies and what not, especially when most of these people have a broadband internet connection.

I use about 60gbs on average but that's because I travel and its my only source of internet. Trying to download large files off a work server adds up fast, but this is with using and paying for the mhs

Usually i use around 5gb. Got my transformer last month so that went up a bit with mobile hot spot around 11gb right now. But thats from downloading apps and it was new so i was always on it as far as people trying to just use a bunch of data is childish grow up all your doing is hurting other people in the long run. Ur not going to win a prize for hitting 50gb in a month

[iGrizz]

I used 11 GB of my 10 GB this past month. Luckily I was able to obtain double data so I have 20 GB to play with.

Lol. In fact, they should give you a prize for using very little data. Like, a refund or something. Sorta like those car insurance companies that give you refund checks if you don't get in an accident.

[chubb]

Wow. What do you people do on your phones. my only internet connection is my phone and I average about 4gb. My highest was 7gb a month. That's with unlimited.

Is this activity like a game or hobby for you (OP)? Maybe I just don't get it but I don't see the point of your brag. Is there one? If you need it that's one thing, like the people who travel but just to see if you can one-up yourself seems like something that accomplishes higher rates, throttling and tiered plans. I don't see this kind of entertainment as a good trade-off for the consequences we all pay.

I don't think so. For every 1 person paying $30/month and using 100+ gigs, there's probably a 1000 using 1gig and paying the same amount. That only averages out to $27/gig. Even if the ratio was 1 to 100 it would still average out to $15/gig.

Verizon is just trying to pay for their LTE network.

That still do sent matter. Comcast has a cap of 250gb and they enforce it. I'm fine if vzw throttles at 20gbs, that's more than I use with unlimited, which I know that's more data than they throttle at. But over 50 gb a month, that's excessive.

I COMPLETELY AGREE! Verizon makes us bend over backwards already, so maybe they should for once.
