I used to use 2 to 3 gigs of data per month, but since I started using wifi more, it is down to about 700k. What does everyone else use per month?

I think last month was my second biggest month ever: I used 1.2GB on my phone (3G) and about 600MB of 4G data. I used far more 4G than I normally do as I happened to be stuck doing laundry and was in 4G coverage so watched almost an hour of Netflix while waiting.

On average I'd say I use very close to 1GB a month of 3G and generally no more than 200MB (if that) of 4G simply because I can't get 4G at home, only work.

The most I ever used was when my home DSL was out for 5 days...that month my total was 2.5GB of 3G since I did use the mobile hotspot as my primary web connection at home.

Way back in 2007 when an ice storm knocked out my home (cable) internet, I used a connection card I had on my employee plan (unlimited back then) and went through just under 11GB for the month on that line!

For me, I average approx 3 - 4GB of 3G data per month. And around 1GB of 4G data per month. And I'm right around the 300MB threshold of 3G roaming data, since I use PRL 11115 and roam on Verizon 3G a lot.

 

My usage has dropped a lot since Mid 2011. I used to run about 5GB to 6GB of 3G per month. I seem to get a lot more WiFi access then I used to. I also think I am using streaming data less often, like Pandora and Netflix.

I like streaming pandora through my truck's bluetooth, but I get really slow speeds on my commute, so I don't think I use as much data. Plus I only drive one out of 4 weeks (thanks carpool). They also installed a wifi hub right outside my office door, so rather than roaming on Verizon at work, I have 10 Mbps wifi. I just have to go in to the browser and agree to the T&C for the wifi that it auto routes you to a couple times a day, whenever the data apps stop working.

I easily smoke 8-10GB of 3G data every month. With only one 4G tower in my area I don't really use it as my 3G speeds are consistently 1.5-2MB. Thank goodness for unlimited data.

    • Was able to install the March 1 Android security patch. Seems slightly more accurate with 5g ca band id, but can not swear by it. Updated google play system update through the software information screen to March 1. *#73# still works. Froze updates waiting on SCP update beta to fix n41 showing as n38.
    • Just installed it. Thanks for the info.  71 mb mar 1st date.
    • There's a permit for a new 47 story building at 205 Montague St in Downtown Brooklyn. The problem is that  T-Mobile eNB 48352 is on the building next door and this new building will block two out of 3 sectors of the site. For reference, the new building will be roughly as tall as 16 Court St which is right across the street. This site is the primary site covering Cadman Plaza so I wonder what the plan is. Will they just try to change sector placement, move to a different building, or will this just speed up the conversion of the Sprint site at 25 Monroe Place?
    • At least not recently.  I think I might have seen this a year ago.  Not Sure.
    • Did they previously hop between n38 and n41 in prior version of SCP, or have you always seen n41 displayed properly?
