How much is your monthly average mobile/phone data usage? (mander.xyz)

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?

I still have some unread in Pocket, and also use self-hosted Wallabag. The downside of the latter is that you can't limit the number or size of the synced articles, it pulls all that's on the server (at least with the self-hosted approach). It's also a bit poorer in features comparatively and isn't developed much, if at all.

TBH I practically stopped reading outside, because I'm mostly in motion there — and on the bus it's increasingly uncomfortable to have the page shake in front of me, with my myopia. So I just put on podcasts or audiobooks from the time I'm getting dressed and all the way to the destination.

Thanks for the reply, I will checkout Wallabag.
