Much digital ink has been spilled about the lack of unlimited data plans for the iPhone on Rogers & Fido 3G mobile networks in Canada. I worried that the 1gb iPhone data plan @ $30/mo would prove too restrictive for my needs, but couldn’t justify ponying up for a more capacious plan at the outset. Take a look at my first month’s data usage in the graphs below (the second with a logarithmic scale to more clearly illustrate daily data):
I’ve just barely broken the 10% threshold! For now, at least, it seems that 1gb/mo is plenty given that at half of the time I’m using the iPhone on my home WiFi network. Perhaps as I begin to more fully integrate the device into my various quotidian information seeking routines I’ll start to push its limits… but I’m no longer too concerned.
