Frequently asked questions
How accurate are the data estimates?
These are approximate averages. Actual usage varies based on video quality settings, compression, platform, and network conditions.
Does the household multiplier affect all activities?
Yes. The tool multiplies all activity usage by the number of people/devices, assuming each person uses the amounts you specified.
What if I have unlimited data?
This tool is most useful for capped plans. If you have unlimited data, you can still use it to estimate how much data you actually use each month.
