Default What kind of data usage numbers are you putting up?

So I found this cool website that allows me to stream radio stations from all around the world. While at work yesterday I used my bluetooth for a couple hours to stream it. I checked my data usage today on sprint's website and I was shocked to see that after 2 days I had used 777,xxx kb. I figure that if I used it like I was yesterday just on the days I work plus for pdanet I will go just over 10 gb. I don't want to get shut off and I was just wondering if anyone else has put up some rediculous numbers.

got unlimited data, not to worried about how much I use. If they "cut you off" then it's a breach of contract.

Yikes, I thought I used mine heavily. After 13 days, I've only used 332k. And that's lso considering I download alot during the day.

The contract is being violated by streaming and using pdanet. Sprints contract says you can use your web browser to check your email and view websites. You are NOT allowed to stream any video or audio per the contract. They call it unlimited because if you are abiding by your contract you should never go over a gig. So the contact violation is on the customers end and could be subject to termination. That is why I'm curious how far people have been able to push it consistently.

What kind of stuff are you streaming to rack up that kind of usage? Probably not a work day, huh?

Lat month I used 4.95GB just under VZW's 5 gig limit. Normally I don't use a ton of data while teathering, but work has been slow, so I have conected a lot recently. My dad uses Alltel and he hits 20GB a month all the time and they don't say anything to him

I think they are more worried about uploading than downloading.
