South Africa's biggest mobile data hogs

South Africa's top mobile data users consume up to 300GB per month.

This is according to Vodacom, which told MyBroadband that this figure does not include usage on any devices other than smartphones.

Since this if only usage on a mobile phone, I'm struggling to think of how someone can get to 300GB in a month. Many months I can't even finish using 1GB as I'm linked to Wifi at both home and at the office (before the lockdown and WFH).

In fact, I told someone the other day that I'm only going to start buying WhatsApp bundles because when I'm out and about that's the only thing I really use.

Does this also exclude users that use their smatphones as Wi-Fi hotspots?

My thoughts exactly, if they use hotspot or tethering then 300GB is nothing really.

We need to stop with the hogs thing.
Vodacom is a very expensive ISP and those people are just using the network that they are paying for.
Also doesn't seem to be affecting the network badly when you consider the statement from Vodacom.

It explained that while this may sound like a lot, it doesn’t have any tangible effect on its network.

If the iPad Pro is considered a mobile device it's pretty easy to chow 300GB doing video editing importing and exporting projects

Pornhub in 4K during Lockdown I finished it, now waiting for Pornhub V2.0 to come out

People still think this is relevant; some sort of importance to how much you use?

10 points to gryffindor?

I guess this is the same as to worrying yourself about other's sex lives/religion.

Tethering is my guess. My old P9 lite can do 70 Mbps and supports 2300 MHz. So it would make sense to use it with Telkom's 1TB package.
