Yesterday, AT&T announced that new iPhone customers will be placed on a tiered pricing plan as opposed to the current, required unlimited data plan (see relevant articles at NY Times, Lifehacker, and CNET). In the past, I had not really thought about tiered pricing much because I considered myself to be a fairly heavy user. However, now that the tiered pricing has been announced and there are numbers (i.e. dollar signs) attached to megabytes, I am curious to see what my actual iPhone usage is. At the beginning of this post, I placed a bar graph (courtesy of AT&T's web page) of my data usage, inspired by a similar exercise done by the wonderful people at Ars Technica. As you can see, for the most part (except during December, which I suppose was a particularly busy month), I stay below 200 MB (and above 100 MB) per month. So I could probably go with the "DataPlus" plan, which would give me 200 MB per month at $15, and would add another $15 if I go over. I just might have to look into this!
