When choosing an internet package think about the online activities that you and your household want to enjoy on a regular basis. No need to count all your emails or websites visited — these don’t use much data. Think about your data needs for things like games, apps, music and videos.
Which internet package should I get?
Here are some general estimates:
Data Use Estimates | What you can do with 300 GB/month | |
Emails with attachments | 300KB each | Send/Receive 1,000 emails |
Photos (high resolution) | 2MB each | Plus upload 2,500 photos |
Music | 5MB each 4-minute song or 75 MB/hour | Plus download 2,500 songs |
YouTube™ video streaming | 5MB/minute or 300MB/hour | Plus watch 100 hours of YouTube™ |
HD movie or sports game | 5GB each | Plus watch 50 |
When would I need an Unlimited internet package?
If everyone in your home loves to stream and binge-watch, download and share videos, leave music apps running all day, game for hours, or back up files every night to the cloud — data usage can add up quickly. If you want to stay connected online as much as you like and stream in HD without monitoring usage, an Unlimited package gives you that freedom.
