How much data are you using?

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)
 
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.
 
8 GB is the norm for me too. I tether for Xbox live and World of Warcraft

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 have been averaging about 10 to 15 gb a month with Hulu Netflix and Sirius Xm I am on 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.

I average around 7 - 10 gigs per month. Mostly tethering on my laptop and having my 2 1/2 year old son watch cartoons and youtube videos.
 
In the two weeks I've had my GNex I've used about 9 gigs. I'm thinking dumping my home connection and tethering all the time. That should jump it up considerably.
 
On my GSM variant I push about 3-4 GB on T-Mobile. Bet I'd use a bit more if I had LTE, although I'm not sure how my usage would really change. Probably just be tethering more.
 
I'm not even at a gig yet but I wanna watch more youtube videos. That's my main thing is how much media can I watch with 4 gigabytes of data? I guess I better just monitor it for a couple of more months until I get the hang of it.

I use about 1/3gb per month. (But remember, I have a fulltime job!) I predict that as 4G becomes the norm Verizon will eliminate the grandfathered in "unlimited data" plans much like ATT is doing now (and yes, they CAN do that). You can get 4GB for $30 now, which is 1GB more than ATT gives you. They simply can't have everyone using data all the time. They don't have that much money.
 
I got the phone mid cycle in Dec, that month I used 5. G. The cycle in Jan was 10. G. This does not include wifi just 4G service.

I also have a MiFi that I avg 10g a month right now, I'm under contract with it so I'm using it. As soon as contract is up I will being tethering with it. So I figure once I start doing that it will = about 20g a month LOL
 
When I wasnt on WiFi's that much I used between 2 and 3g's .
However now Im back using WiFi's 16 to 18 hrs out of the day so expect a drastic drop for my March billing cycle.Im not counting my wifi usage just 4g/3g

They can't change my plan if I don't get a subsidized phone! :D
