Aye - but that's a LOT of porn - 10.5 hours or whatever ?

notwithstanding data speeds etc understood.

It's a lot of anything! How would it look in terms of data-intensive gaming?

One other possibility: if the system was upgrading itself (perhaps without his knowledge if he's non-techie), a big upgrade could be multiple gigabytes. That could help account for one day's usage being so extreme. And it might not even be his fault: being a work device, his settings might very well be under the control of a sysop!

When I use mobile data to watch telly when I'm away in my campervan, I reckon I average 2GB per day with not particularly intensive use.

If someone said they used 11GB over a few days I'd happily accept that as being reasonable.

Scott.

One other data point. I don't play games or watch videos on my phone. The only data-heavy thing it gets used for is video calls and conferencing. Less than a week ago I got a flurry of warnings about data usage. Turned out I'd been using 4G (rather than wifi) data on a longish skype call, and had done the same a week or so earlier!

It's probably about the amount of time someone might fall asleep for while watching porn in bed after having a few nightcaps :?

Not speaking from experience I should add.
