S4GRU Members Average Monthly Data Usage (with Poll)

[Arysyn]

Hi Everyone!

 

I had an idea for a poll, which I did a search for on here, just in case this already had been done here before, though I couldn't find any indication of it, so now I'm creating it.

 

As a former admin of mostly health-related sites, I loved having polls, as it was a great way of getting people to learn more general knowledge of other people's issues, ideas, etc. This poll post here is that I'm hoping will help start a discussion of data usage habits and such, while it also would be interesting to see how much data Sprint gets through its network from people on this site.

BTW, I just now selected the choice for between 15gb - 30gb monthly as my usage. I think this range of usage is going to become the typical average, if it isn't already.

[Flompholph]

The average cell phone data use last year was 1.9 GB. 75% of people use under 2 GB.

Don't let AJ know that your using that much data per month...lol

I am assuming you mean wireless data usage.  My fiancee and I share a 2GB Sprint family share plan and usually use about 1.5GB between the two of us.

When I was doing side jobs to make ends meet, I was working so much. I was watching my tv shows during lunch, My usage was between 15gb to 30gb. But over all, I  average around 10 to 15gb per a month.

[Smashed Ixnay]

I use 10-15gb.  I would say it's right about 12gb a month.

[Fuber]

Wow....who does 90 a month? They must use it as home internet.

[S4GRU]

I use 10-15GB. Mostly for tethering on AT&T, working on S4GRU at work and on the road. I have a 30GB AT&T family plan that I share. I also have a 4 GB VZW hotspot plan that I use as a backup in places with no AT&T signal, or the AT&T network is too slow.

Yes, wireless data usage typically used, not the plan subscribed to.

Edit: This is my entire family's usage (5 lines). Mine is averaged to about 5 Gb per month

I'll go see if I can find how much. I'm positive I use a lot.

From January and back, I was through straight talk.

How in the hell did you use 141 gigs in a month?!...... ????

[shaferz]

2 days left in this cycle and I am at 29.98gb.

 

This my heaviest usage month by far - other months are all 17gb or less.

 

Used a lot of tethering over the past 3 weeks (work and kids iPads) + a metric crapload of speed tests.

Download your entire music and movie collection from Google Play? Five times... ????

 

It sure is a lot. My wife and I are usually around 5GB each, but some months can be as high as 10GB each. Just depends how much we're out of the house. At home, we mostly use our wifi connection, even though it's dsl and slower than most everyone else has.

Most likely, performing certain data activities that violate the contractual Ts and Cs.  But that is cool, lol.

That's what I was assuming (what most of us on here would assume). I was hoping it's prompt a further explanation/breakdown from him.

[anthony.spina97]

I think my highest ever was around 5 gigs in a month. I guess I don't use nearly as much as I thought.

I've been getting into the 6-10 gb range. Streaming netflix and hulu over LTE def doesnt help. That and  I pretty much do not use anything but spotify while there, or in my car. And I don't bother connecting to public wifi in most places because half the time my LTE is faster.
