Data Usage

[Anonymous]

With the ever connected world we live in these days, I'm wondering how much people use.

As you may or may not know I gave up home broadband in November and I've just had my first full month data usage (I swapped direct debit dates after I joined so that messed it up)

When I took out my unlimited data contract, they said unlimited was just that I could stick it any device I wanted & hotspot as much as i wanted (not tried either yet)

Here's the result.

So is 45gb a lot compared to you, compared to you gals with home broadband... or am I a data minnow? 

I'm wondering if fair usage is an outdated term.. or have you fallen foul?

I'll be reporting back monthly to see what I'm like over the remainder of the contract!

Would love your input!

@welshsteve76I'm pretty much the same, don't stream on cellular so avoiding any surprises of data running out and big charges.

Happened once by accident and within an hour i'd "lost" £40  (not O2)

I hear ya.  I'm old school and like to actually own my music and control the music files on my device.

I'm with you @welshsteve76 regarding music. That's the one thing I don't stream. I like to own and control my music too. I stream films and TV shows because I don't have Sky or Netflix, so wouldn't get to see them otherwise. I also stream baseball as it's the only way I'd get to see a game. Downloading and streaming is where the majority of my data goes.

I'm quite comfortable streaming on my home (unlimited data) WiFi, but really protective on what I'm doing on my mobile
