I got my first 'warning' re date quota use last month, which I thought was a nice touch from internode. I still had a lot left by my estimation, but still....

I've been surprised at how much my data usage has gone up for just me by adding a tablet to my mix. Granted, I have oversubscribed to audio feeds (am trimming back once I've seen that I don't listen to all that I download), but I'm sure updating of just the main software is adding to my usage quite a bit, and growing. That's just one device. 

I also believe that updates of just OS on my laptop is using more. I've pretty much stopped using my desktop (XP) so that doesn't get updated, but if I was maintaining a desktop as well, that would add even more. 

I'm almost to the stage of switching from a 50Gb plan to an unlimited plan so I don't have to worry about it.
