How much do you guys use a month?

Was just wondering

1) Which plan you on? (ME 75/35)
2) How much GB you use a month or TB?

not asking what you do because it's none of my business.

I have 3 smarthphones always connected to wifi , 3 laptops , 1desktop pc , 1 playstation 3.

also planning soon to hook up Xbox 360 for FIOS TV which will make even more GB's used.

this is what my router shows.



I am really curious what you guys use on our Fiber Optic network.

Well seeing that at most you could do 1.2TB a day with your line running 100% on downloads, its unlikely you could do 70-120 TB.

I don't think the 300mbps plan could even do 120TB fully maxed 24/7.

I'm small potatoes compared to most of you.

So far for December
2012-12, 238.68 GB in, 8.65 GB out, 247.33 GB total.

I have 6 phones on Verizon's LTE 12gb plan and most we used was 8GB , I can't imagine what you people to do use so much internet on cellphones lol, like streaming netflix etc.. the most I eat was like 4 gigs but I streamed mostly radio in 256 kbps quality.

Where to find the amount of data transferred in a month in Actiontec MI424WR Rev. I? Only information I found is pasted below. Do I calculate from following? If yes, my calculation came up about 1.8 TB per month.

I watch netflix and hulu during breaks and lunches.

I got a wife mother in law two teenage kids and my own two baby's at the house. I basically don't get to watch any tv when at home my phone is my only refuge

I keep all of my music in the cloud, so most of the 10GB to 20GB I use from my cell phone each month is from my music. I can't keep it on the phone because the 48GB of storage on the phone isn't anywhere near enough storage available for all my music. And Amazon allows me to store all my songs without charging me extra as long as they are in the MP3 format. So I just had to convert everything I had from WMA to MP3.

December usage, so far. About average/typical usage for about the last year or so.

Depends what phone you got , if you own Android phone storage is up to 64gb from SD card , also what quality you stream at?
and which cloud service you use for streaming music?

for example : Amazon MP3 gives me horrible quality of music , I was thinking about also streaming music from cloud but I wasn't sure which app to use.

My phone has 16GB built in and a 32 GB card. That is nowhere near enough for all my music. Plus why should I keep it locally when I can just as easily get it from the cloud? Whether I use 10GB, 20GB or 30GB a month from Verizon wireless it doesn't matter since I'm grandfathered in with unlimited 4G data. (if I wasn't on unlimited it would be a different story...which would really suck having to make a lot of compromises to keep my data usage down)

My uploaded MP3 songs to the Amazon cloud are 256Kbs to 320Kbs. When played back that is the quality they are played back at from the cloud. Although they do have some kind of feature where if you have a lower quality MP3 uploaded and it is part of their catalog, they will upgrade it to 256kbs quality. I had one song that was only 128Kbs quality that they upgraded to 256Kbs. But everything else I had was higher qualitty so they did not apply.

Google Music seems very nice even on iOS , I will give that a try don't feel like paying 25$ when google gives you more thanks!

Nice to know I am not in the top. I hit around 42GBs this month on the 35/35 plan. This was heavier than usual for me.
