My average when I didn't live in the sticks and therefor have to use wifi; was around30-40gb per month, needless to say att would throttle the living shit out of my service

Jesus, I wonder how much they have been throttling you after you surpassed 10 GB?

I have sprint. The only good thing about sprint is truly unlimited data. This is how much I’ve used.

I don't know if that's good or bad honestly. I spend way too much time checking my phone

They aren’t allowed to throttle customers who are still on unlimited.

you all have some serious"data" addictions

“Current period” is since the phone was activated, so that could easily be over two years, which is fairl normal.

Dear lord...I would abuse that so much and use ALL THE DATA!

man, they still let you have unlimited, put them to it.

I think it’s ok to check your phone, as long as you know when to not check it (such as being with friends and family).

A combination of watching too many Youtube videos and having bad wi-fi.

“Youtube”

Everyone knows Youtube is where the real (car) porn is at.

At first I was like, shit I used 56 GB last Saturday. Then I realized you were showing your cellular data. Respect.

ATT tricked my parents into dropping my unlimited. I'm on a family plan so I didn't know until it was too late.

Mine shows 135Gb on my personal phone, and 41.3Gb on my work phone.

Verizon tried to get us on to a 10GB family plan. On average my whole family uses about 30GB a month. So we said no quite quickly.

Wat. I thought my 15 GB was too much already.

MLGCarGuy > pjhusa 08/06/2015 at 16:38

I thought so too. And then Youtube allowed HD videos over LTE and I quickly stopped thinking that.

Nope. Unlimited on Verizon. Weve had it for years now.

Please tell att this, they throttle me like clockwork as soon as I get to 5 gb. Assholes.

We’re limited to 10 btwn 3 people, yet have never gotten close to 10. So dayum...

I also wish Verizon still gave us Unlimited...

How do you even manage to use that much?

RyanFrew > JQJ213- Now With An Extra Cylinder! 08/06/2015 at 17:52

Same, but I was going to point out that on an iPhone you would probably have something similar to OP. That number isn’t for the current period, it’s the data usage since the phone has been activated. Dunno how to see it on an Android or Windows.

lucky. I got fucked out of unlimited from verizon several years back when I upgraded phones. I could have either kept the unlimited data and paid pull price for my (at the time, new) iPhone 5 or went to a limited plan and got the discount. To keep my bill the same, I was able to get 6 GB per month, which was close at times, but ultimately still enough to work. It pissed me off though, since I was assured at the time when I signed up for unlimited data (when I got an iPhone 4) that they couldn’t take it away. Oh well... When I upgraded to an iPhone 6, I was able to keep my bill the same but bump my allowance up to 10 GB which is definitely enough. I guess I didn’t need unlimited but I did like the idea of not having to ever give a shit about my usage, which now is just one more thing to keep track of and look after.

Fortunately my parents use barely any data. Almost went over last month though. I was so mad when I found out. I used to stream music all the time, watch videos, play games, etc. now I constantly worry

Someone told me that current period means the time that you’ve owned the phone. So if you’re saying you feel bad about 66 GB...

MLGCarGuy > norskracer98-ExploringTheOutback 08/06/2015 at 20:03

Unlimited, as great as it is, comes with a price. Literally. To keep unlimited, my family must pay full price for each phone when purchasing a new one…that’s why we don’t upgrade phones much now, if not at all.

It says the period above the usage. Apparently, I'm 66 GBs a day and a half.... :/....still feel dirty, lol.

I use less than 2 gb per month.

Admiral-cb > zeontestpilot 08/06/2015 at 22:15

The period above on mine is the length of time on calls. I don't think it's possible to use 66 gb in a day.

I believe it. I just got this phone. I’ve been running My Singing Monsters, which can only run when connected to the server; and The Sims: Freeplay, another server game.

I've been checking in on both games, farming money and quests and such, every 1/2 hour at least. Plus there's lald, oppo, and jalopnik checking; not to mention I read manga throughout the day....man, I am so glad I have free data, :).
