Merely 2.5Gb for a month

With only 16 hours left, my first month of unlimited wireless Internet connection for iPad will be expired. The plan will automatically renew itself, so unless I explicitly cancel it, I will continue enrolling in the unlimited data plan. Question comes as I always thought that as a super heavy iPad user, I may use super among of bandwidth each month, and thus will be quite painful an experience for me to use one of those new limited AT&T data plan.

So guess how much 3G wireless data I used on the first month?

2.5 Gb.

To me, that's really darn a low number judge by how much I use my iPad, and also that with my 3G only experiment on the first 2 days, my usage was almost 1Gb.

Od course, the number is low mostly because I turned on WiFi most of the time, and iPad will automatically use WiFi as much as possible. If I really want to abuse the system, I can simply turn off WiFi and keep sucking data from 3G network as much as possible. But then 3G is supposed to be a limited resources, which means the MORE I consume the 3G resources, the less is available for people around me. So I tend to think that I should conserve my usage, unless I am around ***k head iPhone users that really piss me off, then I will turn on my downloading app and continuously downloading games with 350Kb/s speed.





wonder how heavy I will use
