Considering the rate at which data zaps this days, I’m sure some you use up to 10GB per month aside of what you download. The question is how much data will be enough for you in 30 days?
Some of you rarely finish 3GB data in 30 days, while some of you that’s what you use daily. Ericson forecasted that by year 2024, smartphone users would consume more than 21 gigabyte (GB) of data per month.
Meaning the least data you’ll use in year 2024 will be 21GB of data… Perhaps you should be using between 21GB to 60GB of data monthly.
The report says that by 2024, data consumption per month on average would be nearly four times the amount consumed in 2018. The report, in other words, estimated that the amount of monthly mobile data traffic consumed by a smartphone user would rise from 5.6 GigaBytes to 21 gigabyte .
Ericson arrived at this conclusion based on the fact that video streaming behavior is on the rise among smartphone users. video currently stands out as the most significant traffic type consumed by smartphone users, at an average of 60 per cent of total traffic.
This is predicted to grow by 35% annually through 2024 to account for 74% of all mobile data traffic. According to the report, traffic from social networking is also expected to rise – increasing by 24% annually over the next 6 years.
You stream Netflix, iFlix, Irokotv, LindaIkejitv, Instagram tv and the rest, then you should be preparing to go for unlimited data plans which by then might be around N20,000 – N25,000 ($55 – $69).
How much data do you currently use per month?
I can’t really say how much I consume per month but should be in region of 15Gb per month. I sub for 9mobile data of N200 1Gb data nearly every three days
I currently use 6gb plus mius downloading and night plans
Honestly data zapping is on the increase, very annoying and heartbreaking. I try to manage my data but still spend close to 5gb a month
The rate at which I use data dey fear me sometimes…. Thanks to Glo
I’m still using my airtel 1k double data.
I used that the way it’s comes ni oo
If it’s free and unlimited I can finish over 100 per month bcos of download and streaming, if na capped na to dey suck it small smal
I don’t usually stream these days
I think I do use 3gb per month
Instagram is a big data consumer. The less time i spend there, the less data i use. I don’t stream with my regular data but still use at least 3gb a month.
Its been happening and even by 2024 more people will consume as much as that or something close to that.
Seriously. This data stuff is really worrisome. U will be browsing and always checking Ur data
I can’t really say precisely but it can not be less than 5gb
More than 3G in a month unless I minimize my surfing
2024 far now
Using Glo can manage data since I only have network in the morning ???????
3gig only last for 2weeks, sometimes I just wonder the speed at which the data zap like that….
With airtel 1k double data am subscribing 3 or 4 times in a month without much streaming and downloading. That 9 or 12 gig in month. But with ntel I can stream and download anytime and I can consume more than 40 gig in a month.
I’m living in 2024 already and so are my colleagues
I can’t say. Because I’m using that Etisalat plan #200 for 1gb.
I guess i use up to 20gb
Presently m using over 16gb per month
i consume about 17 to 25gb monthly.. But with cheat i have consumed upto 40gb before.
By 2024, i strongly believe I might be in that position Ericson predicted. A good number of us might, Lord help our pockets by then ?
I don’t know how much I use, I don’t don calculate or watch my usage, I just browse… over 30gb dho
Data prices need to become cheaper with time.
Have surprised myself as I used up a whooping total of over 250GB a month when Airtel was selling their wifi with unlimited data on it. Now with MTN 1GB for 200NGN I can speculate I eat up a little over 25GB a month easy
