How much data do we use?
From this post, you will learn how much data you spend daily,
Using MTN as a case study, when you;
Surf the web - 1-minute browsing online = 1 MB.
Use social media - 1 minute of browsing and posting to social media = 4 MB
Send & receive emails - 1 email (with no attachments) = 20 KB
Send & receive emails - 1 email (with standard attachments) = 300 KB
Game online - 1 minute of playing online games = 3 MB
Stream music - 1 minute of streaming music = 2 MB
Stream non-HD video - 1 minute of streaming non-HD video content = 4 MB
Stream HD video - 1 minute of streaming HD video content = 15 MB
Note: This data usage estimate is only a guide. Your usage may vary during actual circumstances.Credit- MTN
To have an average understanding of what you use,
Using Social media like Facebook, Whatsapp, or Instagram.
Time on social media = 1 Hour = 60 mins.
1 minute = 4mb
60mins x 4mb = 240mb
In 1 hour, just surfing through social media, you have consumed roughly 240mb.
1GB is 1024mb
You are likely to exhaust 1GB in a day,
If you are to add watching videos.
1 minute of streaming HD video content = 15 MB
Video watching time = 5 mins
1 minute = 15mb
5 mins x 15mb = 75mb for one video.
5 videos in one day.
75mb x 5 = 375mb.
Glossary.
MB - megabytes.
KB - Kilobytes.
GB - Gigabytes.
HD - High definition.
With this, you can have an idea of how much data you consume daily.
The above scenario applies to other networks, like Glo, 9mobile, and Airtel.
You can purchase affordable data from #450 naira per GB, chat with bountiful to get yours.
