How much data do you use?

winngames · 29 May 2012 at 13:35

Hey

I'm looking to get a new phone on contract but I'm just not sure how much data ill actually need so I'm curious as to how much data the public actually use per month. think 500mb will be enough or should i pay an extra £5 for 1.5gb?

Thanks

I think on average I use 500MB a month. I have a 3GB cap that came inclusive with my phone, but I rarely ever need it as at either destination im usually connected to wireless. I might be inclined to go for 1.5GB because the caps they place you on for going over are worse then dial-up.

I use about 700Mb per month, but I'm a fairly light user.

in 2 weeks i've used just under 500mb, and i use wifi for most data stuff (downloading apps etc).

youtube etc will rape your data if you use it a lot (which is where most of mine has gone this month)

200mb this month with a few days left although i've had wifi access almost everywhere except for a couple of train journeys

normally about 750mb to 1gb with a lot of push email.

between 400 and 750Mb I'd say, that's with wi-fi at home (but not at work)

Thanks for the response guys

normally below 500mb but if my internet goes down then this can jump to 5GB

Dark Kyon · 29 May 2012 at 16:38

Monthly i would be able to to clock up to 1.5Gb

20gb in the last 30 days! Lol

Upto 1GB a month, 2GB on the rare month (where I'm too lazy to connect to wifi). However I use spotify.

~600-900mb per month (with wifi at home but not at work)

Will be getting wifi at work within the next 3 weeks so I expect my usage to drop to below 500mb.

PistolPete · 29 May 2012 at 17:48

Used to be around 900MB but I stopped getting a free extra 500MB and was left with 500MB, so I use about 250MB now, I go Wifi as soon as I get into the house.

I like to stream music from home...

matt100 · 29 May 2012 at 18:12

christ! I take it you're on 3 and don't have wifi?

yak.h'cir · 29 May 2012 at 18:16

About 10GB a month with giff gaff! But then I don't have access to wifi/broadband or even a computer come to think of it so everything goes through the phone!

Semple · 29 May 2012 at 18:20

Upwards of 2Gb every month. I don't use WiFi at home cause my phone is quicker than my home broadband

DJDaz · 29 May 2012 at 20:32

I don't think i've ever reached 100mb on my phone. although i use wifi a lot

Tatsuki · 29 May 2012 at 20:35
