Hi guys,

I currently have the 120gb+120gb option from Afrihost with RAIN.

I'm curious to know as to how much data do you guys use per day? I don't utilize this data for my cellphone since I'm on a pretty good data contract for my mobile. This is primarily for devices (iPad, PC) and Netflix as well as showmax

Surely this is enough if one streams movies for about 3-4 hours a day?

Thanks
 
That is plenty, with normal daily streaming I don't even use 100gig a month.
Also remember the faster your Internet the more data you use. Be careful. Monitor it for some times and you would know
 
I had a tenant klap 700GB in 7 days

This a "how long is a piece of string" question, no one knows. It all depends on your data usage patterns.

Then, there is a tendency when a large pipe like this becomes available for everyone with access to it too simply grow into it and use it all.

For me, that like a years' data usage

Agreed! Before this, I had a 30+30 contract with Telkom. Didn't stream, just downloaded from Netflix and showmax and it was more than enough

Probably Win10 updates.

Seriously though, I only ever go for uncapped packages. I can't be arsed tracking what I use. Of course, I don't benefit from the prioritised connections that capped customers get (yes, that's actually a thing - capped customers have a better connection), but I never have to worry about paying more for going over cap.

Lol

I get you bud. I’ve had to go for a capped option always, since I have no fixed lines in my home.

I really considered going there Telkom LTE uncapped route, but I hear that's a FUP ... And nobody can find l tell me what the policy actually is.

These RAIN packages are not exactly cheap, but much better considering the limited options I have

Personally 300GB capped 100Mbps fiber at home
2GB per phone for light use through the month
Works out just right for the two of us.
