How much 4G data do you use each month?

[Bbeelzebub]

Since it looks like Family Shared Data Tiers are inevitable, how much 4G data do you use each month? Not interested in data hogs' numbers who don't have home broadband, but real everyday medium to heavy users.

I'm trying to figure out if a tiered plan will kill my bill or not with overages. I haven't had an LTE phone yet, so I've no clue how much I should expect my data use to jump. I know how much I use on 3G with email and some browsing and apps, but I'm not sure what accessing files on my home computer watching media on the go, etc. will do.

Sprints network is great where I live (Southern California) and they are in the first 12 for LTE. Switching is definitely an option for me. Even their 3G is faster than Verizon's in my area now. We've only stayed with Verizon because of their coverage map when we travel, etc.

I average about 1.5 GB a month. Usually just on Twitter and streaming music from Google. I hit 4 GB back in January when I was on vacation, but that was only after streaming hours and hours of Netflix.

About ~500-700 MB a month. Had my phone for three months, and am allowed 4GB of Data.

400-700 MB, but I don't want to have to worry about going over, ever

I average 12gb since I got the razor maxx. But this month only 4gb with about 15 days left in my billing cycle.

Anywhere from 1-3 GB, but my daughter chews through about 10 GB on her 3G Ally. :-/

Normally 2-6gb here. A few times over 10gb, but not very often

I was generally running a little over 2GB /month, until February I hit over 4 GB. And, it sure felt like I was getting throttled, I couldn't get websites to load on 4G, but they would load on 3G or if I used Opera instead of the stock browser. That all cleared up at the start of my next billing cycle, so I went to using WiFi at home at at my Mom's, and was just over 2GB last month. 9 days in here and I'm up to 431 MB. I have a week-long trip toward the end of this billing cycle and want to make sure I don't hit a 5% limit, even though it sounds like others use way more.

Edit: The reason for the increased usage was streaming radio while at work, because the FM reception inside the building is terrible and AM is worse.

If I use the Sirius app on my Droid Charge my eight hour daily trip for work uses about 600MB. Without unlimited data that is a non-starter. That's about 2.4GB a week, almost 10GB a month just for one app.

Min 2GB month. I've gone as high as the upper 4GB range.

Damn! I was thinking of using the app instead of replacing the stereo in my car. Scratch that. Doh!

Damn! Makes me glad the only car I drive is my personal vehicle so SiriusXM is built into it. I can spare my phones data for use of SiriusXM at the gym. Lol

Usually just under 2GB a month. I stream Slacker radio to and from work each weekday on my Rezound.

I just checked my 5 lines usage. I have 4 days left in my billing cycle.

Line 1: 1.93 GB
Line 2: 0.37 GB
Line 3: 0.08 GB
Line 4: 0.07 GB
Line 5: 1.76 GB

Sure they will make money off some people but I am willing to bet the majority of people are similar to me and actually Verizon stands to LOSE money on switching those people.

None, because its not out by me, nor do I expect it in the next several years.

Although I do have grandfathered unlimited data (on LTE), I normally only use about 500MB - 1GB a month unless streaming NFL football games which then it only jumps to approx. 2-3GB. Regardless, I wouldn't want to lose grandfathered unlimited data, mainly for peace of mind of not having to worry about overages or having to check data use. In the end when the time does come, I wouldn't leave Verizon anyway as they provide the best coverage where I live.

 

[jwc553911]

On a 3 month average 5.1GB. 4GLTE turned on last month. 8gb last month.

I never go over 2 GB a month unless I try. I am normally over 1 GB but less than 2 GB. I haven't really looked lately.

If I'm moved to a tiered plan, I will just use WiFi more and make sure I store my music on m phone.
