Erratic mobile internet usage?
I am on contract with Vodafone and have a limit of 750MB each month [with a charge of £5 for every additional 250MB that I use]. I have the Vodafone app installed on my phone which helps me keep track of how much internet I use, but I go over every month without fail. Having checked my itemised bills, it seems to show extremely erratic internet usage - some days I'll use as little as 8MB, but on others it'll be well over 200MB. I never stream video on my mobile [as I hardly ever get 3G or H+ reception] and 90% of my main browsing is mobile versions of sites - Telegraph, Amazon, UKHD, DS etc. My most used apps are Facebook, Hotmail and Twitter
For example, on the 27th of January I used only 12.143MB on internet, however on the 28th I supposedly used 221.755. The thing is, I was at work from 12pm to 6pm that day and then connected to a WiFi connection the rest of the day - all I ever have running in the background is Hotmail on a push service. My Facebook is set to update every 2 hours and Twitter every 4. I have another huge data usage of 116MB on the 29th - yet again, I was at work from 9am-6pm... However, on the 30th, I apparently only used 9.4MB - a day on which I used my phone a lot. Again, yesterday, I supposedly used 176MB between 245pm and 615pm - I was in the house connected to WiFi! My phone is only out of WiFi range for 6 hours a day 5 days a week [and for 4 of those hours I am not using it as I am working]. But here I am, only 5 days into my new "month" and I have supposedly used a whopping 416MB of data already - where is it going!? |
