Really depends on the month. But I'd say on average 300gb and above. May be a few hundred GBs higher if I find good porn.

At home my internet supplier is Unlimited so I wouldn't have clue how much I use there.

See how frugal I am. I have used 14 GB on my phone this month. The phone has unlimited internet for $20 a month and my data speeds are in the 20 to 30 Mb range. All my streaming like Funimation and Netflix are from the phone and I cast to my TV in 1080p .
Now for gaming, I have a stand alone mobile hot spot with 30 GB data cap. On the PS4 so far this month I have used 22 GB for game patches and online play. I do have to be careful with any games I buy to make sure the patch sizes will be doable. World of Tanks is a free download but it's 30 GB and I won't be able to do that much because the mobile hot spot will not allow overages, and just shuts down.
I'm doing fine with this set up. The Witcher III patch download was planned at the start of a cycle so it worked out fine. If I do max out my mobile hot spot I still have unlimited video streaming from the phone.

What in the world am I reading?

You know your phone will almost certainly have an option to turn itself into a mobile hotspot for you right? As in you could use your phones unlimited net from your PS4 and download your games that way at night while you're asleep or so?

If you have android, go into Settings and under Wireless and Networks click on the "more..." option, should bring you to a place which features "Tethering & Portable Hotspot" Just go into the settings now and turn off the power save option on it, fire up the PS4 and connect it to the phones WiFi hotspot instead of your Data Capped stand alone thing.

 

Edit - Just.. for the love of all that is Holy make sure that you don't have Wi-Fi connecting your Phone to your Stand Alone Mobile Broadband when you do this... or you'll just be using the Data Capped Mobile broadband rather than your unlimited 3/4G network Data.

Hotspot on phone is off because when you activate it, it's $50 for just 6 GB and that's max. The unlimited data on phone is NOT for running hotspot. Just phone data, which I cast to TV for streaming video. No data cap unlimited video streaming using the phones internet for $20 a month. I'm casting to TV WITHOUT using hotspot. Peer-to-peer. There is NO active WiFi running. ChromeCast and Apple TV needs an active WiFi network to cast. My setup requires NO WiFi network at all.

The mobile hotspot max data is 30 GB for less than twice the cost of just 6 GB on the phone.

Cell company wants you to buy the mobile hotspot and not use the phones hotspot.



   

Hey! They got SONY on my amiibo! Wait a minute. Two great gaming tastes that game great together!

Wow that is quite different from in Ireland there is literally no difference between using data from the network on your phone or boardcasting it from the phone to something else, there isn't in terms of the cost of the data to the network only that they've managed to lock a part of the software of your phone to think it isn't able to share that data... that is shocking, is it an android phone?

There are a few ways around it.... but... that said if you are happy with your current set up (I think I would actually shrivel up and die with 30gb per month) then work away with what you got I guess and keep an eye out for cheap retail games rather than stuff from the psn Store... since it would take you 2 months worth of Cap to download Uncharted 4 ... that is... insane.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

With an android device, if you Root your phone and apply a small patch or a custom rom you can get pure unlimited on your data since it will filter out Hotspot usage from regular usage.

After doing that you can turn off the "Video is unlimited" feature and actually start watching HD video. Since the "Video is unlimtied" "FEATURE" only allows 480p max from the major streaming services.

 

*Edit : XDA forums is where to look on how to Root your phone. Just don't try this with a Samsung that has KNOX if your phone is still in warranty. So far KNOX is the only mobile tech that can actually detect whether or not your phone has been rooted after a full system wipe and restore.

Yup, the hotspot on my android phone is a plan add on and is shut off with software from the cell company if you don't pay for it.

The mobile hotspot is a separate device with its own plan and no contract. So I can adjust my data cap any time I want on it which is a nice feature. That's the USA for ya.

50-100GB on average. More if a big game comes out.



I predict that the Wii U will sell a total of 18 million units in its lifetime. 

The NX will be a 900p machine

Dunno, don't care. I have unlimited so I never bother to check. =P
