How much data do you use on your mobile?

14 January 2020

With the growing use of social networks, plus streaming, gaming and more all done on mobiles, we wanted to see how much data you crunch in a month.

How much data (via a 3G, 4G or 5G signal, not Wi-Fi) do you USE in a typical month? If unsure, check your data usage settings or your mobile bill.

We try to use technology to limit voting to one per person. Occasionally, this may erroneously block a few people's votes (eg, from shared offices). Apologies for that.
