Yes sir your current plan is 20GB Data/Unlimited calls/Texts for £20 a month......but as a special deal i can offer you 40GB Data/Unlimited calls/Texts for £30 a month.
He thinks wow double the data for only an extra £10......but then checks his data usage for last year and sees he was only using 4GB a month

During recent months stuck at home mobile data usage has been virtually zero as I'm on wifi most of the time - just checked my most recent bill and used 350 MB. Even during normal times my data usage was almost never over 2-3 GB a month. The only times it has been higher is when I have been in a hotel without free wifi where is can be cheaper to use mobile data.

I totally agree - what's the point in paying for something that you don't use - even if it is very cheap ?couriervanman said:

My tariff includes 8 Gb. I never go over. Sometimes go near.Deleted_User said:Vodafone are offering 160Gb per month at £20That got me wondering whether anyone could use over 5Gb per day / every day ?How much data do YOU use (not pay for - but USE ?
I suspect the Vodafone 160 Gb is marketing the idea that you can just use mobile data and no need for broadband wired service.0 -
Check this poster's other posts and you'll be able to make your own mind up about the veracity of their claims. Walter Mitty comes to mind. 🙄Deleted_User said:

So far this month* I've used 0.4GB of my 6GB allowance. Last month I think I used about 1.4GB, but that was high versus recent times as we had a break away.
* My billing cycle is 21st to 20thJenni x0 -
I really do not use data services right now because I'm always connected to WiFi, but when I was frequently going out before the pandemic, my average was around 10gb per month.0
