on the joys of no WIFI: how much mobile data could you live off?
View this post on Hive: on the joys of no WIFI: how much mobile data could you live off?
I've moved to Hive, along with most other people, following Justin Sun's takeover of Steem in the Spring of 2020. I believe hive is a lot more decentralised than Steem!
I once burned 5.5 GB of phone data in one evening - that was enough for a block by my long term contractors Vodafone who were offering unlimited data :)
No idea what I consume day to day at present, but on my phone I switch the data off most of my apps - youtube had to go first.
On coffee shops...
Everyone else is there for that reason :)
Then it's not unlimited - 5GB cld be as little as 30 mins of video!
You can browse with a data saver picture free quite freely for a few hours with a couple of GB.
Good old British xoffee shops!

I don't think they expected a phone to be tethered to a PC and be used to stream 20+ webcams for a few hours :)

I was wondering about just this as I am thinking about buying/hiring a caravan to try out living in another part of the country. I have several dongles and I think the last time I used them (several years ago now), I was using about 1GB a day.
I have thought about surviving off coffee shop/library wifi and downloading videos/tv etc.
You could manage with around 20GB a month - ID mobile does that for £10 I think (might be £15) if you can find your way to a coffee shop for a few hrs a week to do all the heavier usage stuff.
You can manage via downloading/ time releasing posts.
It also helps prevent idling online.
Where are you thinking of moving to?

I'm thinking about the East Kent coast, my family are there and the journey time/costs to work in London are about the same as from Leicester. I'm not sure, though, I'd like to try renting for six months in the winter and see how I got on.
You mean Ramsgate or Deal or somewhere around there? I quite like Thanet etc.

Yeah, my dad was from Ramsgate.
I just recently moved into a new apartment and had to go threw a month without wifi. You can only survive by downloading as much content through free wifi as possible...crazy how addicted we got over the past decade!

It does seem to be a necessity!

Haven’t tested and am fearful of trying. I have unlimited 4g on my phone which is faster than most free wireless

As you know I live in Switzerland, everything costs more then a bit
But the network here is really amazing and covers close to everything. there is even high speed internet on the ski slopes, lol
