How Much Data Does It Actually Use?

Data caps never really went away — home plans commonly cap around 1.2 TB, hotspot and travel plans at 10–50 GB, and every app answers "how much will this use?" with a shrug. These guides answer it properly: the official per-hour figures from each service's own documentation, what independent measurements actually find (often above the official "up to" ceilings), and the one conversion that makes any of it checkable — GB per hour ≈ bitrate in Mbps × 0.45. Every guide ships with per-episode, per-hour and per-month tables plus a live calculator that turns your real habits into a monthly GB figure against your cap. Speed and capacity are different questions: for "is my connection fast enough," see the internet speed verdicts; for "how much speed do my activities need right now," the bandwidth calculator; and for "how long will this file take," the download time calculator. This section answers the third question your ISP bills you for: volume.
