Re: [AFMUG] Does unlimited mobile data decrease bandwidth usage

[Darin Steffl]

I guess when between my family and business our Verizon bill is upwards of
$770 per month, I use as little wifi as possible so I keep my mobile usage
on their network to get my money's worth.

I've almost always had unlimited and I almost always use WiFi when available.

Since more Cell companies are switching to unlimited plans/streaming 
included, has that changed if people will actually bother to connect 
mobile devices to Wifi? I may be shooting myself in the foot, (maybe I 
should find some wood to knock on) but it seems like bandwidth usage has 
had a noticeable drop since Black Friday. Our BW trend this year has 
been steadily increasing, but since mid November, consumption is down, 
most notably in that overnight peaks are less. So I'm curious that if 
$standarduser switches to an "Unlimited data" plan, they don't even 
bother to connect to WIFI.

I'll use wifi at home and work, but I don't ever look for free/open wifi 
out in public.

When I'm not home, I have wifi turned off to use my unlimited. I would do
the same at home but to run Sonos, my phone needs to be in wifi otherwise
I'd just use my unlimited to keep the load off my network and keep it on
Verizon.

Basically, I no longer seek out wifi in order to save data on my plan since
it's unlimited.

I have a (supposedly) grandfathered unlimited plan from Verizon and 
rarely connect to WiFi even though my home WiFi is faster than my phones 
data.
