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.

Yeah, agreed, the Sprint network has gotten really good in a lot of places.  Woo hoo!   But how do you "forget" to use Wi-Fi at home?  You should almost never turn off Wi-Fi.  Rather, you configure

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.

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

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.

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.

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?!...... ????

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.

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.

      I think the push for them is adding US Mobile as a MVNO with a priority data plan.  Ultimately, making people more aware of priority would allow them (and other carriers) to differentiate themselves from MVNOs like Consumer Cellular that advertise the same coverage. n77 has dramatically reduced the need for priority service at Verizon where the mere functioning of your phone was in jeopardy a couple of years ago if you had a low priority plan like Red Pocket. Only have heard of problems with T-Mobile in parts of Los Angeles. AT&T fell in between. All had issues at large concerts and festivals, or sporting events if your carrier has no on-site rights. Edit: Dishes native 5g network has different issues: not enough sites, limited bandwidth. Higher priority would help a few. Truth is they can push phones to AT&T or T-Mobile.

      Tracfone AT&T sims went from QCI 8 to 9 as well a couple years ago. I'm pretty neutral towards AT&T's turbo feature here, the only bad taste left was for those who had unadvertised QCI 7 a couple months ago moved down to 8. In my eyes it would have been a lot better for AT&T to include turbo in those Premium/Elite plans for free to keep them at QCI 7, while also introducing this turbo add on option for any other plans or devices. As it stands now only a handful of plans can add it, and only if you're using a device on a random list of devices AT&T considers to be 5G smartphones.

      My Red Pocket AT&T GSMA account was dropped to QCI 9 about a year ago.  Most recently 8 for the last few years prior.  Voice remains at 5.

      https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2024/05/att-announces-7-monthly-add-on-fee-for-turbo-5g-speeds/ Hopefully we don't ever see T-Mobile do something like this. Based on how I was treated with my Credit Limit, it's definitely not the same company it was before the merger, and it's entirely possible they'd try it.
