I must be one of those data hogs that the stats speak of, since I have quite a few months of data usage that went above the 4 gig mark. I can only blame my previous job that ALWAYS kept me out of town and on the road, especially the Anchorage - Fairbanks 16 hr round trip, in which I'd stream Pandora the whole way (aside from those pesky dead-zones that I became all too familiar with) and I did that trip multiple times a week. And that was my SHORT trip. Alaska is freaking huge, it really is hard to grasp just how big this place is.
More recently it was marathon Skype sessions with the ol' girlfriend that had been my data killer, since we'd much rather use up my data plan than my actual minutes while I was out of town.
Having said all that, even with my rather uncommon usage, I still never passed that 5 gig mark. I guess I'm one of the few who will benefit from the grandfathered rate though, so I'm happy they are giving us the ability to stay with it.
