How much data per month do you use?

700MB. Not sure how TBH. Just regular web sites, no streaming of movies / large movie content. No downloading Apps via mobile internet ( WIFI only ) etc.
 
Nearly 700MB in 21 days on my 3GS on AT&T. Had 3G on for five days straight, WiFi off to see what I could use.

74.75MB on my 4S on Verizon, resets on the 16th.
 
Highest i've ever hit was 1.5GB, this month (20 days in the cycle) i'm at 352MB

however i've been using my wifi like crazy after i hit that month at 1.5 GB.

i'm either at work, home or my fiance's house which all have wifi, so why not use it.

I still can't seem to stay under 200MB though so i have the 2GB plan.
 
I used 3 GB, but I only had the iPhone for about 2 weeks (I upgraded mid-billing cycle).

So far, I'm 3 days into my billing cycle and I've used 750 MB. This is typical use, nothing special. I guess that puts me on pace for around 7.5-8 GB per month. We'll see if that pans out.

At home I have Wifi. At work I don't. I stream Pandora to and from work, and while at work, I'm heavy into Apps like Viggle. I'm also using Siri in the car quite often.

I received AT&T's data throttling alert for this. Top 5% of users.
 
With 1 day left in my billing cycle, I have currently used 209.54 MB. I am on the 2 GB plan, but I am almost always on wifi.
 
I use anywhere from 6-11gb a month. I stream radio, podcasts, watch YouTube videos, browse Internet, check email, and occasionally watch some episodes on hbo go. I live having unlimited. I wish my work had wifi we were able to hook up to but sadly they don't allow it.
 
Throttle. Throttle. And keep throttling.

Anything that is not unlimited on AT&T's data plan is unacceptable.

500MB is not enough. Not with a smartphone. All these apps and especially now with Siri. Not even close.

We need to start getting things with terabytes.

Let's be realistic. I don't think the average user even uses a terabyte on their home broadband connection in a month. I torrent quite a bit... over the last year I have downloaded 800gb in torrents alone. So no way people legitimately need terabytes of data.

And if this was sarcasm, forgive me. 😀
 
I started off with 500mb, then changed to a 1gb package, and now have a 2gb data plan from 02 in the Uk.

The iPhone just screams to be used on the net !

🙄
 
I posted on the 15th that I barely used 700B, now with two days left, I have now used 711MB. I just don't do much on 3G these days. I used to download podcasts on 3G only just to use up data and used over 5GB in one month a few summers ago.

I usually average about 250 to 1GB but usually where I am at now.

I have used 17.5GB so far this year. Mostly used by tethering on the three UK network.
 
Up to 1GB. I have a 1GB plan and I've never gone over it. I do use my phone quite frequently too (I don't minimize my use in fear of going over my data plan) and almost never use wifi. I don't watch a lot of videos or stream music, though, so I think that naturally keeps the data down.
 
I live in New Zealand where data is relatively expensive. I only get 200MB per month and its sufficient but I do feel a little limited sometimes.
 
I average 1-2.5GB/mo but this month I am past 3.5GB with my billing cycle ending 3/1/12. Watched more movies on netflix this month which is why my usage is so high. I did receive notice from AT&T that I am in the top 5% but would not see reduced speeds this billing cycle because the top 5% changes monthly.
 
I've used 89.02MB and I am 27 days into my billing cycle. I am generally on WiFi most of the time. Don't think I'll be getting the 5% message anytime soon. LOL.
