Outrageous data per month, How?

[mpossoff]

I read these outrageous amounts of data people are using in a month. Are most using their unlimited data as their primary internet connection?

If not how the heck people using 10+GB/month?

I sometimes wonder myself. I consider myself a power user and... well look below.

I also get out fairly often and use my phone a lot when I'm out.

Of course, I tend to not do a lot of video watching when out and about... maybe that's why? Most of my usage is limited to web browsing, twitter (including tweeting photos), email, Reddit, etc.

No wifi where I live and most wifi networks get disconnected when I turn the screen off, especially the free wifi that requires you to login and accept agreements.

Using wifi actually uses less power than using a cellular connection. Just an FYI.

Umm, you DO realize that Wifi uses *less* power than cellular data, right? By an order of magnitude, too.

Wifi is talking to an access point that is at most a few dozen feet away. Cellular data is talking to a tower that could be a mile away. The latter requires a lot more power!

Turn your Wifi on, silly. There's absolutely NO reason to turn it off unless you're going on a road trip or something where you KNOW you won't be around any Wifi networks for hours at a time.

You're using your cellular data as primary Internet even though you have wifi.

I'm thinking that most users with what I call outrageous data usage are using their cellular Internet as their primary Internet.
