Exactly... which doesn't make this poll very accurate.

There is nothing inaccurate about gathering raw data. You can interpret it however you like!

Around 20-40MB per month since wherever I go there is WiFi access.

I have been using <100 megs a month as I am very leery about going over like I did with my crappy Bell Novatel U727 USB modem. They billed me $2,200 !!!!!!!!!! for the first month! It was cut back, but not nearly as much as I complained about! I just canceled it.

With Rogers, I have 500 megs on my plan, but was looking at getting that $30 6 gig offer. But it looks like it is gone now. They are offering $80 for 5 gigs! No thanks. I'll leave it as is & hopefully I won't go over my limit. At least they have an easy-to-find report for usage (voice, data, sms) on their site now.

I just checked and have used 65 megs with 20 days to go...

Depends on how you use it. I have 60 gigs on my home plan and am using 30-40 gigs a month now. 6 gigs would be gone in no time for me!

I'm averaging 174 MB per month data usage. Pretty minimal.
