Default Data Plan Usage: How much do you guys hit per month?

Those of you who are on a cap per month, do you ever blow or exceed your cap? Im thinking about switching to an unlimited plan.

I have unlimited usage - Sprint FTW - but I just checked my account. I use WiFi, a lot, but I also use Pandora everytime I'm in the car.

My highest month was 2.93GB on my cell phone alone. My wife added 383MB to that. Normally I'm 2.2GB to 2.4GB for the month shared.



In the last year, I haven't exceeded 300 minutes shared between my wife and I. Everything is free mobile-to-mobile or nights/weekends. My plan is 1500 shared.



For 2 4G Android smart phones, pretty much unlimited everything, and a mini-tower for my house that always gives me full strength through my router, I pay $155/mo. which includes $16 for insurance, $5 for the AirRave tower, and $12 in gov. taxes.

Usually around 3 to 7G, but I have popped over 15G once or twice.

Past month was around 7.



Grandfathered in Verizon unlimited plan, so I flog her for every last cent of the $30 a month I pay!

I have grandfathered unlimited data from at&t and I use Pandora or other music apps all the time while I'm driving and I only use 1.1-1.2GB a month TOPS... I use WiFi at home and I don't update my apps though my cell data since my Comcast speed is 10x faster.
