On my old TP2, I averaged 11-12GB per month and that was with VERY MINDFUL monitoring of my data usage. All you need to do is look at a few YouTube videos and download a few songs and a movie or two plus stream a few tv shows online, and before you know it, you've exceeded 10gigs a month. A lot of these people posting outrageous number, of course, are idiots who are taking advantage and doing things like downloading dozens upon dozens of movies, tv shows, entire cds, torrents, and whatever else. Those few a**holes are going to screw things over for everyone else. Before the EVO even came out, I knew this was going to happen... I was just wondering how soon.

I can totally see that. Of course I abuse my cable line with all my movie, discographies, game isos etc but i would never do that with a phone. The usage you described is very reasonable. Its all the other jacka$$es.
