How much data are you at?

um...2.3GB. today's the end of my BillingCycle.

on my Evo, i never broke over a GB--and that's with same use of WiFi @ home.

but, now that i've discovered the 'tv shows stream' app, i'm sure that # will be picking up greatly over the upcoming months...
for project.in.process and the others who show large data increases with their switch to TB - is this because it just wasn't practical (ie. didn't work well, was too slow, etc. on a 3G network) or is it because you've found more things to do that are data intensive since you got your TB?

I'm nearly in the same boat. Probably because our EVO's could never even get a wimax-crap signal :p

For me I would say that it was a mix of the data compression of the Storm and the fact that about the only thing that could be done on the stupid thing was streaming audio and even that got so bad that I eventually just had to find ways to listen on my computer. Where I work, they have a pretty robust firewall that blocks almost any type of streaming media, but there are a few sites that weren't blocked so I used those.

Now it doesn't matter as I have 3 radio apps (TuneIn, Radio Companion, and iHeart) and I have MLBatBat so I can listen to just about anything I want and at anytime.
 
How many of you are able to use LTE? I've used 2.571 gb on my OG Droid with 4 days left in the billing period.
 
1.043 GB... 11 days left. I am not in a 4G area, though, so I use Wifi at home and 3g everywhere else. Once 4G kicks in, I imagine I'll be going to town on this.

I get LTE at work and at home, but since my house is in a bit of a valley, I'm in an LTE Extended Coverage Area at home. I still stay connected to LTE at home and I get decent speeds (7-10Mbps down), but it's still slower than my ISP so I use wifi at home.

So that 3.971GB (probably over 4GB by now) is only when I'm not at home and it still doesn't count a whole month because my billing cycle ends on the 13th and the phone didn't come out until the 17th.
 
some folks are KILLING the data... I need those sitting under a GB to pick up the pace.. I generally use anywhere between 14 to 20 Gb but thats across multiple devices and lots of data tests...

So I'm guessing if we keep our data sky high, the tiered plans have more data? ;)
 
Based on a of peoples usage you can look forward towards tiered data and throttling in the future...
 
I use an average of 6gbs a month
Sometimes more if I am feeling a torrent.
Swyped from my Gingerbread'ed Optimus S
 
I'm at 2 GB using LTE but I'm on wifi at home and at work (somewhat heavy usage) so it would be a whole lot more if it weren't for that...I believe my cycle ends the 17th....when I had my blackberry, I was averaging around 1 GB a month without ever using wifi (tour didn't have it)
 
Ive only used 1.5 gigs in 27 days, and ive almost completely stopped using wifi. When we get netflix tho ill probably double that tho.
 
Wow, now I see why we will be losing unlimited plan. I do not have time to use my phone as if it were my computer at home.

I'm nowhere near the data some of these guys are rocking. However as I discover more, my data will increase no doubt.

Just found Dropbox and uploaded a large video. TV Show Streams, Netflix are next.

I don't have a computer so I do use my device in place of one.

I suppose between Blackberry compressing data, and the lousy internet and lack of apps, I can understand why I used so little before.

I'm going to post my data here on the last day of my billing cycle.
