Question

Answer 1

This is really an unfair answer because capped data is an unfair deal.



I surf the internet unlimited on my phone and home... so... my internet surfing is endless, my use is never compromised.



3 Gbs & 6 Gbs is only good for reading... or downloading text files: Like Emails, News letters, sending texts.



Its not so good for Video, gaming, streaming or let alone... Flash Animation... all of this takes bandwidth.



Use your internet wisely, and make sure you dont get a virus that uses your computer as a media server.

Answer 2

The obvious answer to up/downloading - 3GB or 6GB, you would just have to keep track. As far as real world usage - I have a 2GB plan for my iPhone, and I do a fair amount of surfing, email, social media, and I typically watch 3 to 4 tv shows a week. I come in at around 1.7 GB every month. The best way is monitor yourself for a while then just make an estimate.



Try out a usage estimator like this:

Internet surfing is more or less downloading content. Let me tell you, if your usage capacity limit is 1Gb, then you can do the following in that capacity: An average web page is about 50 kilobytes in size - so you could download around 20,000 web pages for 1 gigabyte. 2. An hour of surfing the web would be around 10 megabytes (200 pages) so you could surf non-stop for about 100 hours for 1 gigabyte. 3. An hour of streamed radio would use about 15-20 megabytes. 4. An hour of streamed video uses around 100-150 megabytes. 5. Playing an online game typically uses about 10-15 megabytes per hour. 6. Emails are very small - so 100 emails would be just 1 megabyte - or 100,000 emails for 1 gigabyte! (of course the attachments count extra) 7. A super-high resolution (5-6 megapixel) digital camera JPEG picture or typical MP3 music file is about 2-3 megabytes so you could download 350-500 of these images/music files for 1 gigabyte. Ultimately, the answer is yes.

Answer 4

Simply browsing web sites, writing email etc. will not be more than 1.0 GB a month. If you download a movie that can be easily 1.0 GB. If you use in a controlled way then 3GB is sufficient. But since there will not be much difference in the charges go for the 6.0 GB plan. You can register your account in the service providers web site and check every day how much you used. That way you can keep a control over your bandwidth consumption.
