Verizon Wireless customers use the most data than any other smartphone carrier in the US according to Information Week. Verizon has seen the largest data usage jump per user this year, up from 48.2MB to 147.2MB per month. On average, Verizon smartphones consume 421MB per month, versus 338MB on the iPhone according to wireless billing vendor Validas.
“Averages can be misleading because when you plot data users in a distribution, you quickly see that there is no typical user — they are spread across a broad range,” said Ed Finegold, executive VP of analytics. “The key detail in this study that drives the average is that, by percentage, nearly twice as many Verizon Wireless smartphone users are consuming 500 megabytes to 1 gigabyte per month compared to AT&T iPhone users,” he said. Over 11% of Verizon’s customers users are in this category, compared with just 5.6% of iPhone users.
The 2009-2010 Wireless Data Consumption study was conducted between January and May of 2010 by examining more than 20,000 consumer wireless bills.
