With most of the US carriers eliminating unlimited data plans over the last couple years it got me curious as to how much (on average) cell phone data a month does the HN crowd use a month?

#2That's a big jump from 250MB to 2GB. You might want to add <500MB and <1GB .. In the UK at least, the "unlimited" cap is set at ~500MB.

Ack. I use <500mb

#4Under 5gb, over 2gb. comes from streaming subsonic/pandora at work and on the road. without that, I'd be well below 2gb

#5I use under 2GB per month but with so much going mobile, I can easily see myself pushing that limit soon. Cell phone carriers shouldn't be afraid of growth.

#6I only pay for the 200MB per month plan from AT&T, so I always use less than that....
The plan determines my behavior, not vice-versa. I'm careful to turn on WiFi both at home and at work. I can't allow myself to listen to streamed music in the car. And I have installed DroidWall (a firewall app for rooted Android phones) and blacklisted certain "chatty" apps from using the network over 3G.

#7Here in Guatemala, there are 3 carriers and their "unlimited" is 3GB for smartphones. Blackberries do have unlimited data, don't ask me why.

#8About a gig and a half, but I don’t stream music/video or use my phone as a mifi. Luckily this is on a 2gb/month contract that my company pays for so it’s not really an issue. I’d definitely use more if I was on an unlimited service though.

#9Blast, I voted wrong (the jump is a bit much). I think my peak was 800MB. Sprint's data history graph makes it look like they charge you over 800MB, but that may just be bad design.
Also, I have "unlimited".

#10I use mine mainly for streaming audio or music, but I don't think I've ever used more than a gig or two in a month. I've got an unlimited plan via Wind Mobile in Canada. If it were a faster and more stable data connection, I'd consider replacing my wired internet at home with it. No dice, at least not yet.
