How much data do you use

I usually use more than 2GB. Last month was 4.2Gb, but I have never reached a 5Gb month. And I don't believe I have ever been throttled. I'm also on a 4g phone, the Razr, but live and work in a 3g area.
 
Might be a little off topic, but I'm currently on 3G with a Droid X. Planning on upgrading within 2 weeks to 4G. Will my unlimited data plan carry over?
 
short answer: yes.

We actually have unlimited data plans. So it's not specific to 3g, or 4g, or wifi, or any other network type. So yeah, you'll still have unlimited data when upgrading your phone. Just be sure that you don't change anything in your plan while upgrading. And be sure you communicate that you want to keep your unlimited data plan to whoever helps you at the verizon store (or wherever you go to get your new phone).
 
Combined between my wife and I...<1GB/month. Wifi is faster since 4G is non-existant in our area.
 
This month is as high as I have gone so far. I unexpectedly wound up in the hospital for a week, and there was no wi-fi there, so I ended up watching quite a bit of streaming video. Then a couple of days ago my home DSL was down for 24 hours and I switched my computer to tether off my phone (Yeah, I know. I ruined the Internet for everyone else, blah, blah, blah.) Actually being able to have a tethered connection available when the land line goes down is exactly why I rooted this phone. I might rarely need it, but I want it to be there when I do.

Oh, yeah - the Total: 4.161 GB of Unlimited used on day 26 of 31.
 
Usually 3 to 5gb sometimes 6.

Wifi might not even exist for me on this Dinc2.
I don't have my own computer or internet at home.
Wifi at work is locked down secured with wep. I don't have any valid reason to ask for the password.
Really I don't get wifi I can connect to anywhere.
If I did I would certainly use it for battery saving aspects...

A bit of an oxymoron. ;)

I used 350 MB last month with my Eris. Now that I have my Nexus, I'm up to 5.5 GB.

Google Music is amazing. If your in a 4G area anyway.
 
I'm at 6 GB in 22 days. 4.5 of that is from streaming HD video with a Slingbox. I haven't tethered. At what point would VZW start throttling?
 
So i set a record for myself this billing ccycle. 12 gigs..... without tethering ,
Although i do pay for it. I watch a lot of YouTube on my lunch lol
 
I used to use ~3gb a month, all 3g, downloading apps, playing games on phone, streaming music/video. lately since I moved and switched jobs I've been using 1.5gb a month. In a few months when I have 4g and netflix streaming capability I think I can reach 8gb easy w/o tethering. If I ever lose unlimited data, I may cry.

Girlfriend uses 150mbs - smallest plan
 
Google Music certainly does not require 4G.

I never said you need 4G. I tend to have buffering issues over 3G, even screwing up the file sometimes (causing skipping). It doesn't seem like 3G around here can really keep up very well with music streaming, unless its in low quality, and even then I have had issues. Its about the same way with Amazon MP3. I have had the same issues with 3G on both my Eris and Nexus (and the data speeds are nearly identical), so it seems to be network related.

Interesting, I don't think I've ever had an issue with GM via 3G.

Probably because where your at, 3G is actually competent. 500 kbps here is considered pretty good, with 200 kbps about average. And even then the speeds aren't really consistent. They kinda go up and down at random.
 
Ok i guess im a data hog. But im a computer tech and i use hotspot for repairs and updates. well. here is a shot of my monthy data usage.
I havent seen anyone come close.

171 GB's of data in one month and you only GUESS you're a data hog.

If you're using your residential wireless connection for business, I'm guessing you should get a business account.
