What is your average data total usage per month on an uncapped account?

Trying to get an idea where our family ADSL usage line fits in the average. May also give some idea of when to expect contention ratios to apply?

We are a family of 4 with two teenagers (grade 10 and first year varsity).

4Meg uncapped
Data usage ~ 150Gig per month
 
Which uncapped ISP are you with?

MWEB 4MB, 250+ gb per month, I'm the only user on it.
 
Mweb 4meg uncapped, I use around 120gb per month.
 
Just converted to uncapped today. Unlikely I'll ever get close to these numbers :D
 
I also changed over to Mweb 1Mbps uncapped this month.

I highly doubt that my 2 neighbours, my brother and I will even exceed 45GB.
 
Wow, is that all you uncapped people use? I go through my whole 260GB account every month on WA, and would use more if I had it. But then I'm not shaped and throttled into oblivion like the uncapped accounts. And I'm paying much less as well! :D
 
He probably has 2x RedAfrica (30GB all hours + 100GB after hours) accounts?

Anything other than that, you'll be paying like R4000+ for that kind of data from WebAfrica.
 
last year on mweb 384 uncapped - avg ~40GB pm, max 60GB pm
recently changed to mweb 4mb uncapped - 192GB for June, 158GB used up to today for July

Account or accounts? And what do you view as much less..
 
I already suggested that rpm put up a poll to use how much the general public download per month.
it should be graded like this.

1GB-9GB
10GB-49GB
50GB-99GB (sweet spot)
100GB-149GB (sweet spot)
150GB-249GB
250GB+

This will give the ISP's a good idea to create certain packages for people at a reasonable price to accommodate their needs instead of uncapped packages that some people don't need and also pay less.
 
When i was with MWEB 4MB i did from Nov last year till last month on avg 400GB-700GB until they took it away :p.

This was mainly due to switching my series over to 720p / 1080p & enough anime to last for 2 months :/
