Hey I was wondering if anyone has noticed this phenomenon.

I recently went to Hong Kong and Japan for six days. Prior to leaving for my trip I checked my average data usage on AT&T's website and on average, I am using about 120MB per month. The most I've ever used is 175MB.

With that in mind, along with the fact I'm travelling to London next week, I purchased a 100MB international data plan. However, it turns out that during the week I was in HK and Japan, I ended up using 93MB and I can't figure out why. I did not use my phone in any different manner than I usually do (other than maybe using Maps a bit more) and even turned off Push email. I just can't figure out why data usage would have been so much higher overseas.

Anyone seen this before?
