Rogers Wireless Data Usage

I’ve had an actual data plan on my Rogers account for use with my Nokia N95 (as opposed to the prohibitively-expensive pay-as-you-go data use I had previously). The plan allows for 500MB of usage per month, and, truth be told, I had no idea whether this was enough or not.

I don’t do anything strange with the photo and data: I check email, update Twitter, use Google Maps, check in to Foursquare, etc. Here’s what the last month’s data usage looks like on the Rogers bill I received today:

So I’m only using about 10% of my 500MB monthly allowance, which surprised me. I’m ditching the N95 in favour of a Google Nexus One next week, so I’ll get a chance to see whether my usage habits on that new device cause me to use more or less data.

Rogers insisted that I buy the 1GB plan for my N900, but this past month I only used 230MB.
