Diaries of a Nokia Fan Boy

I was listening to the radio on my phone and it occured to me to check just how much bandwidth I’ve used since I last reset the phone. Which would have been over the last two months or so.

So I openned the Log application and navigated to the Packet Data section, to find that I’ve used 8GB of data!! Now that’s pretty amazing! And its mostly through listening to Internet Radio @ 128-192 kbps, and of course some “Torrenting”. But the really amazing part is that tethering only takes up a couple dozen megabytes.
Just so you guys can get an idea of how much data listening to internet radio uses up, just over today I’ve accumulated 350MB just by listening to internet radio.

Now I have a pretty decent plan. I got my plan during a promotional 6GB for $30 period, except I managed to get $15 off of the plan through various connections. So I decided to take a look at how much my provider is currently offering data plans for, and it turns out the most you can get for $15 is 2MB of data, with the biggest plan being 5GB for $80. I guess I’m getting a pretty darn good deal, since my whole plan doesn’t even come to $80 after taxes!

I also decided to look through my bills and so far I’ve used a little over 12GB of data, almost all of which would have been used during the last 4-5 months (the monthly record is about 3.3GB).

So what’s the point of this post? I guess I just really don’t want to do work

But it would be pretty interesting to find out what the heavy users out there are spending all their bandwidth one?
