I received my new Ipad yesterday, the 4G LTE 32 gig and activated my data plan. I had a 3G first gen ipad also so i canceled that plan before starting the new one up. I live in Detroit so we dont have LTE just yet, no big deal. I airlined out to Phoenix today where they DO have LTE so I was all geeked about getting some speed test's on the LTE network. I opted for the 250MB plan just to let you know.
I was playing a few games on the plane so they were still in the 'background'. When I was playing them I was not on wifi. So i get to the hotel and see the LTE network icon and do 4 speed tests using Speedtest by Ookla. After the fourth test I get a message saying i was withing 2% of reaching my 250 mb limit!!??
How can doing 4 speed test eat up all that data? I called AT&T and they could see the usage but couldn't see all of it because of the system doesnt update right away. She then asked if I could double tap the home button to see what was running in the back ground and I had the two games, Airsupremacy and Real Racing 2HD, also Safari and Messages.
She said according to the 'Team' that those programs were probably eating up my data. How can this be? I had the 3G with the same games running and have never even came close to half of 250MB of my data usage.
Any one else have this issue? She did credit me another 250 MB when this one ran out.
Thanks,
John
