Official "How Much Data Do You Use?" thread

[durango992007]

I hit, for the first time, the 3GB mark. 3.679 GB to be exact. An hour of a movie on Netflix on a very strong 4g connection and I got an extra 2GB worth of data. But i'm on wifi probably 80% of the time. When i'm not i'm at work and I have Pandora on for a couple hours, internet browsing, etc. All on 3g though as 4g hasn't made it to the foothills here yet

I average 10gb - 15gb. Thats normal use though in todays age. Anyone who uses less than 2gb should be forced into tiered data.

Just curious why anyone should be forced into tiered data?

I am on average using about 2 GB per month.

8-10gb a month, on a 10gb plan (at 5gb price thanks to promotion)

Normal huh? Maybe for a porn addict.

Joking of course. I'm sure you probably tether

I'm sitting at 3.955GB since two days ago and my 4GB plan cycle doesn't reset until 2 days from now. I had to turn data off on my Galaxy Nexus. :'(

The upside is that my battery is lasting forever...

I usually use over 2-3GB. This month it took me a while to figure out how to download songs in Rhapsody. I was streaming all the music over and over. Plus I hard reset the phone and although I had re-downloaded lots of apps via WiFi, I kept finding some that I forgot to reinstall and I would download them over LTE.

Same here, sometimes a lil less and sometimes a lil more. I got in on the double data so I get 4gb for $30. I figure as long as I use the 2gb that I pay for I'm not wasting data that I pay for. Plus, its nice to have that 2gb cushion incase I need it or go crazy on something.

For me...the only times I come even close to that is when I'm at my kids mothers apt alot. She has no cable, not even the $50 cable boxes. No internet. When I'm home more...I average less than 1GB a month. I have Wifi and cable with almost every channel. Most cable companies starting giving ppl free wifi routers with their service a few years ago.

And at her apt I was tethering for a Blu Ray player so they could watch Netflix.

I dont know which situation is more normal.....but I cant believe my kids mother situation is. Now that she has an HDTV with a tuner and gets some channels...I believe her use has went down some. My daughter be on facebook and youtube alot. But...if they had home internet.....

Another thing.....she has Sprint now...and dont get good service. I have to use Wifi at my apt, I'm on Verizon. So ppl that have weak data reception...they wont be using that much data in a month. Verizon is alot better at her apt then mine.

I can only get on my phone before and after work and during lunch. And when I'm home...I got home internet and cable. As of right now I'm at 600MB, my cycle starts again on the 25th.

I know its real easy to hit 10GB just using the phone and certain apps...I switched one of my plans to 10GB. But I dont know if its the norm. I mainly switched to that because of my kids mother and kids. I was fine on 4GB. Maybe for folks thats out n about alot 10GB - 15GB is the norm. Cuz I use Netflix, forum apps and browse the web alot when in the streets waiting for ppl, waiting for services, dr appt, etc..

Just looked at her bill..she averages between 1GB - 2.5GB now. And thats all 3G since she cant even get a WiMax signal. So 4G plays a part too. If she could get better 4G I'm sure her usage would be higher.

I just want to see where I stand against the average monthly bandwidth usage for Verizon customers.

My monthly average is 3.5gigs

Mostly Google Music, Doggcatcher, a little Pandora, navigation, internet, Google Voice texts...

You use about what I use.

I average 3-4GB per month because I like to stream spotify/navigate and use an app to stream my favorite sports station. I'm behind the wheel a lot and regularly drive 3500 miles a month with my job.

Now my wife and daughter run about 500 mb a month so I pay $60 in data plans for nothing!

I average about 27 gigs by watching DroidTV, HBOGO, MAXGO and DirectEverywhere.

I'm in my truck 6 to 8 weeks at a time then home for a week. Spent 6 hours today while getting unloaded in Albuquerque then drove 360 miles to OK and leave for Oakland in the morning. Spend many nights in places without TV coverage and severe thunderstorms tonight prevent setting up Sat.

Love DroidTV

I drive as well, and I have unlimited. I usually come in at 7-8 GB, but I'm at 7.6 tonight, and my cycle goes to the 28th. Maybe doing private hangouts with my wife on G+ had something to do with that. Ooops.

I'm telling the truth. For wifi, I use about 500MB for Wifi and 50MB for data in a month. I'm serious. I have a computer which does pretty much everything I need. I don't use my phone that much for wifi.

I'm at 4.8 gigs right now and I don't cycle until the 23rd.

Last month I used 4.2, the month before I used 5.3, and the month before I used 3.9.

I generally stay around 4 gigs, though I have had spikes of as high as 13GB.

If I switched to a limited plan or moved carriers, I would definitely have to use WiFi wherever possible, and take advantage of data management features like those in ICS.
