Data Connection monitoring – Day 7

Ok, time to revisit the data usage.  For the last 7 days, I’ve been downloading apps from the Market far less, but conversely, I have been streaming music a lot more through Last.fm.  I’ve also streamed a half hour or so of television through beebPlayer (which I’ll hopefully post a video review of over the next couple of days if I get time).  Because of this, my data usage has jumped quite dramatically.  Here are the latest figures since the last check (on 11th September)-

Wi-Fi usage – 198MB

2G/3G usage – 94MB

So, where my average for the first couple of days was around the 13-15MB mark, the average has shot up to 48MB per day!  I’ll reset my count and give it another week until we’ve built up a clearer picture.  But, so far, I’d say if you were going to go with Orange/Vodafone for your Hero, you’ll need to forget about using music or video streaming or you’ll be over your usage limit before you know what’s hit you.
