How much data will I use on average?

[MATNAR68]

I just bought home internet service thru verizon but I dont know how much data it will use.whats the average?

Is this cellular home internet service or Fios home internet service.

The average usage would mean absolutely nothing, it all has to do with your usage habits.

For example, someone who streams Netflix 2-4 hours/day would use up to 10-20 GB each day. Someone who only surfed web pages and email would use maybe 0.1 GB/day. The average of those would be 5-10 GB of usage/day yet would not be a good choice of data allowance for EITHER plan.

Averages don't mean anything if you are not using the average amount of data. Your data usage is what matters.
