What's the most data you've used per month?

I think the most I ever used in a month was about 2GB. That was still when I was on the AT&T unlimited plan and I was doing a lot of music streaming from Pandora.

My average, though, is about 300-500MB because I am almost always on WiFi.

LOL, no, no. I meant the guys with the really huge data usages.

Start talking how much data you consume and sooner or later the guys that routinely pull north of 50GBs per month show up. :D

Well, since I don't own a TV or landline phone I've eschewed home broadband also.

Mobile data is unlimited, cheaper and faster and with no contract at all. 106GB for one month is on the conservative side of my general usage.

Oh, I'm not coming down on anyone, I was just pointing out a fact.

I happen to believe that if you are going to advertise unlimited data that you actually should offer unlimited data. Not unlimited data on your smart phone only, or unlimited data on your other device only. That makes it LIMITED, not unlimited. Truth in advertising.

Now, if the carriers had advertised, unlimited data on your smart phone only then that wouldn't be unlimited, of course, but that would be the deal you sign on for. But that doesn't play well. The carriers would rather hit you with this awesome sounding "unlimited" thing and then hit you with the restrictions as you come in the door.

This is an old, old, discussion about "unlimited" but any time you talk data usage, it always comes up.
 
My mobile data can be used for any device - it really is unlimited. I use it with my iPhone, my Nexus 7, my Chromebook..and I never worry about it because it's unlimited, fast and cheap.

Yeah, depending on your carrier. I'm on Sprint, so while there is "unlimited" when it comes to tethering you have data limits.
 
I only have access to the cellular specs in settings but since my last reset on 3/21 I've used 6.6gb. Divided evenly that's about 1.6gb a month.

I'm on a 4S on Verizon so I'm limited to their slow 3G. So it's hard to rack up much more data then that even if I were to try lol.
