On my phone I use very little because koodoo still hasn't discovered no data limits. I use it for IMing and light internet browsing. So...about 1GB a month or so.

On my computer it probably averages out to around 15GB a day or so across a month. I'm always downloading 1080p anime series and new games. I also watch a ton of youtube.

On my desktop I use anywhere from 5-20TB a month depending on if I feel like downloading crap I don't need.
On my phone my usage is negligible. My plan is a 64Kbit line that I only use for messeaging and whatnot.

Total for my first month of using Comcast at home was around 300GB.

But I do almost all my downloading at work, it probably gets in the TB range there per month as we have 1gbps fiber. I'll have to check tomorrow when I get in, just to see

I have a 250/mo cap on my wifi, and a 20GB shared between 3 phones. But since I'm usually always home, I'm always on the wi-fi, and use almost all of it each month between using Wii U, laptops, 3 phones constantly on it, and PopcornTime streaming, it sees a lot of use and abuse. The phone data we never go over 20GB, but came close last month.

Lol...just checked the router at work. Apparently, in the last 30 days, we've had a total of 3.2TB's worth of data. 3TBs is receieved, 200GB sent :lol:

Don't know about my home internet, it's not capped so I don't keep track.
Around 50MB on my phone.
100MB this month because I had to consult the wife about bathroom tiles via Skype. Repeatedly.

I have to rely on a tethered connection a lot during the summers, so I've been around 65-70GB/mo on my phone. At home between my media box and server I'll hit between 1.5 to 2 TB/mo, which isn't too bad all things considered. Had Comcast while I was in school, switched to a business plan once they enforced a 300GB/mo cap.

I was juggling GBATemp and my baby. What can I say? Lol
Juggling? Aw dammit, yet another developmental milestone to look out for :unsure: I'm still reading up on the "controlling their head" and "sitting up" part, when does the juggling come in? So many things to remember, I'm freaking out here :wacko:

On my phone, I do roughly 100MB a month

At home, I do more or less 60GB a month.

I keep forcing myself to watch youtube in 480p, since it's more than enough on a laptop screen lol.

I also hardly play online, and I usually don't download much.

When I do, I make sure to backup everything, so I don't need to download again.

Well...my Comcast bill tells me I used 0.00GB for the past 5 months. Huh. I'd say I use about 500GB a month by estimate. Gotta stream all that HD Netflix, yknow.

Says 83.81GB in the last 60 days from what Windows 8 is telling me. That's from working 5 days a week. Before that, used to be at least 700GB/Month.

1GB PER MONTH!? Holy shit, how do you get by lol.
You think that's bad, we're absolutely data starved in Canada. My $40/month plan gives me a measly 300MB. I can't even listen to a few youtube videos without going over, so I mostly just use IRC, Google Now, and light web browsing when on mobile. That usually amounts to about 50MB, and I go through about 30-40GB a month on my home internet.

    Ok yes they were both made by Rare, but DK was from Rare back then, Rare now is owned by MS. So makes since.
