Wow... Most of the major ISP's here in Canada have a **** fit when you use more than 500 GB with your home internet... On mobile you would be lucky if they don't cut you off after 25 GB of usage...

That's harsh. I probably use over 1TB of data on my home internet even if it's 2.0 MBPS download. I'm going to see if there is a way to measure the amount of data used... I don't see the point in having a limit for home internet usage.

For my iPhone 5s, I still have unlimited AT&T data, grandfathered in, and use between 7-8 GB/month. On the iPad, I pay for 3GB for $30/month, also with AT&T, and usually use between 2-2.5 GB. I'm much more careful and selective what I use on the iPad, since it's limited. For instance, I don't stream any video by default, like HBO GO, Netflix, or iTunes movies/TV shows from the cloud, unless I make exceptions.

I'm doing that if I switch to T-Mobile later this year. That mod must be famous right now. There were only 2 people that ever did that AFAIK.

Seems like there is only one member of that club...:)

Dpham and me talked about it so he challenged me to test T-Mobile's network. My cycle reset on the 6th... So far I am at... (see below).

We will see how a month goes!

We have a 10GB shared family plan through AT&T and truth is in a year and a half we have gone over twice and that was only when we were traveling in the car and my son watched videos for 8 hours on the road. I personally use < 2GB/month.

I have a 6 GB/month plan.

I typically use about 2-2.5GB/month.

Facebook, Twitter, email, and occasional music streaming.

I also often tether my iPad off my phone when I'm out and bored, or in cottage country, so I must burn a decent amount there.

I have iPhone 5 on rogers and I always see myself using between 4-6 gb per month.. And I never turn on wifi since I have the 6gb plan. What I usually do on my phone is play some games, YouTube once in a while and browsing on Facebook and Instagram but don't really post

I have a 500mb package attached to my sim only deal, but unlimited home broadband, so use wifi all the time. At work the phone is just a phone and pager 99% of the time. Socially I talk to people,not a gadget nor do I socialise with people (or gadgets !) that I don't know.
