Our data usage calculator will help you decide whether you truly need vast quantities of data or if you can make do with something finite to save some bucks.
This estimate provides a general guide and your own requirements may be very different. Remember that other factors may also influence your data consumption.
Here's where the golden nugget lies - if your result from the data usage calculator quiz shows that you use less than 500GB of data per month, you could potentially save on your monthly Internet bill with a data-capped plan.
Most Internet plans come with unlimited data these days, but other data limits include 200GB and 500GB a month. Value-wise, these plans might not look like much on the surface, since for an extra $5-10/month, you could grab an unlimited plan instead.
But if you find you're using under 500GB each month, why not save that $5-10 a month? While it might not seem like much, these savings could add up to $100 off your Internet bill each year - all because you're paying for Internet you're actually using, rather than for an unlimited plan where you're only using 200-500GB.
To put together our calculator, we used the following data-use estimates for each activity:
If you don’t read the fine print (especially in the case of mobile plans), you can easily find yourself with throttled connection speeds or extra charges on your bill. However, there are many simple actions to take that can make a big difference.
When you're trying to sort through NBN plans, here's what to look at:
If you've used the data usage calculator above and found that you're not using over 200GB a month, you could save on your Internet bill. We've set the filters to show plans with at least 200GB and cost less than $50/month. You can also adjust the filters yourself to find plans with higher data limits.
