    I rarely use over 2GB of data per month. Usually most of my data traffic happens over wifi. Curious.

    If you want to know why I'm asking:

    My phone provider just decided to upgrade my subscription plan some ridiculous amount. I was on a cheap prepaid 18GB every 28 days plan, with data rollover. (I got nearly 900 GB of rollover data just sitting there, accumulated over the years).

    Now they increased both their price and data cap about +60%. For me this is absolutely unnecessary. I was already paying for more than what I used.

    Then I tried to switch providers, and realized this is the new baseline in the country, at least for monthly prepaid. Eventually I found a few providers that offer something more affordable, but it's only long expiry plans with a lot less data. Works for me though, not complaining.

    I'm just surprised with the sheer amounts in most monthly plans, am I some kind of low usage freak?

      543MiB last month. I mostly use the cell data for maps and messaging

      My phone plan is $5 a month, for 100gib, after I hit the cap the speed gets limited to 384kbps... I'm no where near hitting my monthly cap.
