What on earth do you do on your phone? I watch a TON of Netflix over cellular data on my phone and and it's hard for me to get past 20GB per month even if I'm actively trying.
Unless you're tethering your computer and torrenting 200 1080p movies each month, I can't possibly see how you can use that much data, and if you are, I'm shocked Verizon still lets you be their customer.
80-90GB would be more believable, if still a bit excessive. (And I say that as someone who despises data caps and believes that most data charges simply exist to create artificial scarcity and an extra revenue stream.).
My next Verizon bill just came out today. Usage for the last billing cycle was 792gb.(so a "little" less than the previous month's 870gb)
I don't have any internet or TV service at my home. I rely on the Verizon smartphone for 100% of my internet and TV. I do subscribe to a paid IPTV service($49/month for about 90 HD channels from around the world) and that accounts for at least 20gb per day. On top of that, there's Netflix, YouTube, as well as VPN and cloud service that I use. (multiply that by 4 people in the household)
One thing that I do NOT do is torrenting or stuff like that. It is the easiest way to lose your Unlimited Data Plan from Verizon. I limit the usage to 100% legal stuff only(or that's acceptable as far as Verizon is concerned)
