Data Useage

[GregO]

Can anyone tell me approx. how much data I should expect to use while watching the in car camera view with Verizon 4g of a 3.5 hour Sprint Cup Race.
I watched last week and my data usage spiked to about 10 times my normal daily usage (ouch!).
Thanks

I don't know what kind of video they're putting out, but you might want to expect anywhere from 160-800 megs an hour depending on the quality being delivered. (does it look like a YouTube video, or like a Netflix video?)

I don't know the quality but it is not exceptional. My data usage for that day spiked to almost 4 gigs!

A gig an hour is pretty beefy video. Are you watching using a website or an app on the phone?

See if they have an option for a lower bitrate stream, or get on wifi. Other than that, not sure what else you could do. (Unlimited data plan from T-mobile is pretty awesome, btw, that's what I've been using for the last few months)
