Disappearing mobile data when doing speedtest

[bluepoole]

That's some nice mobile speeds. Where is this?

In Paarl, Western Cape

Instead of pointing and laughing, I will add that I was surprised at the amount of data a speed test uses. I never considered that, although it makes perfect sense.

The MyBB Speedtest App used to have a setting that you could enable so it uses less data. It is no longer there though.

Interested to hear what anyone's thoughts on this matter are.

One day we will no longer be using binary systems. The idea of bits and bytes will be a thing of the past as information will be transferred via quantum particles. But we are not there yet my time traveling friend.

Did not expect it to be THAT much (approx 700Mb per test!), but the measurement I got was quite fast so I suppose it is "normal"...

Thank you for all the replies, lesson learned, do not scratch if it doesn't itch I suppose
