So I just got my Nexus 5x in the mail and looked up some "first things to do" articles and came across Project FI. I've not followed any news on Project FI so I was bummed to find out about the $199 deal if bought through the playstore (I looked there too when shopping and it wasn't even mentioned!).
anyways, I digress,I'm looking at it now as I'm always down for a good deal and I'd like to support such a cool service. I have been doing a lot of reading up on it this morning and i think I fit the niche well... I'm an idividual with one phone and I'm not concerned with coverage as I'm already fine with T mobile and I already have an eligible phone. For me, it really comes down to how much data will I need. I currently have T Mobile and their $60 simple choice unlimited talk/text and unlimited 4g LTE data, so data consumption is one thing I have not paid any attention to at all. But this is the one facet of the service that really makes or breaks it for me. Will I save money, or will it be even more?
So I check my usage stats on Tmobiles website and for the past 6 months I probably averaged around 4gb per month. My heaviest month was 4.5gb, lowest month was 2.8gb.
However, I don't really trust these numbers. Since I had unlimted data, I was super lazy about turning on wi fi when I got home. I am on the road a lot during the day for work so I always turned off wi-fi while I was away from home to try to conserve battery life. I would always forget to turn wi-fi back on when I got home since I wasn't really concerned with it due to my unlimited plan. I'd go a week easy sometimes never enabling wifi. So I know these stats have to be inflated.
Many times in my life I made a decision I've later regretted not having thought out every angle in advance. So, I'm hoping a few people here might be able to provide some angles I am not thinking about?
Any advice and experiences are welcomed!
