Mine is only about 1 GB a month with unlimited grandfathered on AT&T. What do you do that you use 30GB billing cycle to date with a half more to go. Or is that a yearly billing cycle?

This is a Verizon app. Not yearly but monthly. I have 16mbps att uverse at home but sometimes I tethered my daughters iPad because she is complaining about her YouTube is buffering. She is turning 4 and she is into Netflix too.

By the way I used to have S3 and note 2. Of course I rooted them but they are all the same. Radio is flaky and most of the time the tethering is not seamless compare to iphone 5. Now I understand why iPhone 5 eats a lot of data. The radio is amazing compare to Samsung.

It's an absolute experience with iPhone 5. The pandora a2dp is flawless! Never loss connection and my daughter is happy watching YouTube and Netflix at the car :)

I didn't bother renewing my sat radio subscription

I've used 2GB/336MB this month on Sprint, last month being my first month I used a little over 6GB/1GB, most places I go have WiFI so I don't use Cellular Data much but when I do I use a lot. I am also not one of those Sprint customers who have terrible Data speeds, I can do anything I want when I want and I don't even have LTE yet. :p

I used 20GB of roaming data on my last billing cycle because I don't have a good connection at work.

How one uses over 30gb so fast on a phone is beyond me. Now that I have wifi at home I only use about 2GB per month on my 5 with Verizon. Used around 6 before I got wifi.

I never turn on my wifi. On LTE speed single movie on Netflix will cost you over 2gb. Maybe I set my Netflix config to best configuration

Same here.
Im near wifi most of the time at home and at work so since its available and fast I connect. Also wifi uses up less battery than a carrier data connection.

I've used almost all of my 4GB tethering plan. I could have gone through all of it already, but I saw I hit 3GB's so I had to slow it down. 5 day's left and I plan on using as close to all of it as I can. If I had unlimited data I would jailbreak it and tether, we don't have great internet here, and At&t has very good service.

I'm at 98 MB of usage and about half way though my billing cycle. Unlike the OP, I never turn off wifi and am on it almost always.

According to the phone's settings I've used 2.6G/590M. Since I got the phone in July.

Wifi at home and at work. Most of the other use is navigation, email and light browsing while I'm at lunch, and the occasional Pandora in the car.

My wife uses even less on her iPhone.
