How much data do you consume on your mobile?

[QROPS]

Just a general question really as I was shocked at my usage!

It would be movies and TV shows as I do not have an ariel or Skycable hooked up in my apartment, so I tend to download during work for the evenings entertainment.

Anyone else?

Amazingly only about 1Gb per month - 1/10th of my contract allowance.

Mostly use iTunes Match on the go, but usually find a wifi connection for downloads of films and iPlayer etc

Work (currently) in the City, but can't usually get a 4G/3G signal from my desk - so that helps!

500mb limit and never exceed it.... use wifi when ever possible.

Going to upgrade to sim only unlimited data so I can use a new 4G phone as personal hotspot for my iPad for my work as its only wifi iPad.

Similar to your usage as I "series watch" on my phone, but on Wifi as I tend to DL at home or at work.

My mobile data is about 1.5Gb/m.

Can you not piggyback off a nearby Wifi station via BT-Wifi or The Cloud?

Wifi


Mobile data

Mobile data (4G)

used: 2.14GB
reset date: 10th November

Usual suspect - Netflix when i'm in the car waiting for the other half at the train station

but now thanks to streaming bluetooth audio in the new car i got carried away with spotify and playlists i don't have downloaded to the device.

Whooops.

About 500MB on mobile data and around 3GB on wifi, that is going down a lot now as I use my tablet at home so it's even less. Plus I uninstalled most social apps from my phone

Is the smugness of ex-social media users the new ex-smokers or hybrid drivers?

[CB2152]

Not much to be honest. Bit of a jump as I had to use it as a portable hotspot to set up a tablet



A bit more on WiFi though...

Not much - I switched to Giff gaff recently who have a useful monitoring app. I reckon I'll have done about 200MB by the end of my first full month with them.

[telford_mike]

I have a limit of 250mb and never get anywhere near it. Everything's on 24/7 - FB, Twitter, email etc.

At what point was I being smug? When did I say I stopped using them?

I still use them, just not on my phone.

New contract on 2 gigs a month, and I still think its probably not enough...

Last Reset: 01/10/2013
Current Period: 14.9GB
Current Period Roaming: 1.9GB

Not much, fluctuates depending on how much time I've spent away from home/wifi.

I get ~20Mb speeds over 3G at home, and I have a plan with unlimited tethering. I'm often tempted to cancel the £50 I pay for fibre each month and just use mobile data.

[durbster]

I'm on wifi at home and work so data is usually only required when we're away or I'm on the way to/from work. I usually use about 500-700Mb per month and it's usually from Spotify, podcasts and Twitter.

I think it helps that I can't get data for about half my commute, so I tend to download on wifi before my journeys.

How come Adblock Plus is using so much data?

[grumpyscot]

I don't use data unless I'm on wifi. Even when I preload up £15 and get 500Mb of free data, I don't use it. Wifi is too easily accessible to bother. (I'm PAYG and pay about £30 - £45 a year)and use Viber / Whatsapp for most calls and messages
