My home WiFi I used 48.6GB average per day, because of watching YouTube and gaming, plus downloading stuff lol. But when I am outside I definitely use lesser, as I know which consumes more than 300MB data per entry into the app

      xXENDER FREAKXx, 01 Aug 2017Well actually there isn't a need to have unlimited data. Fo... moreNot sure what you use data for at home but my family of 3 used on average 12.5Gb per day on our home network. We have a 1500Gb/1000Gbps package using about 1% of the data per day. All this is used by 1 PC (wired), 1 Laptop (wifi), 1 Roku (wifi) and 3 phones (wifi).

      As far as our phone package we have unlimited everything except cell to landline which has a 1500 minute cap. My daughter watches all the video she wants at home or away without worries. 6Gb would not cut it at all.

      Now I have to ask who downloads movies to their phones? I want a real screen to watch a full length movie. I'm not going to sit and hold my phone for 1.5 to 2 hours and have to keep it plugged up to finish a movie.

        AnonD-614957, 31 Jul 2017So, they trying to beat Qualcomm. Yes and they got it. Samsung isn't any company.

          hh5040, 31 Jul 2017why would want so high speed if data is not unlimited? 9and... moreWell actually there isn't a need to have unlimited data. For me I only used around 2.20GB data per month and a total of 6GB data. I would choose high speeds with limited data from 3GB and above, since I didn't use that much. 1gbps plan with 1gbps WiFi and 500mbps 4G matching up with that huge amount of data is the best option

            Qualcomm's days are numbered.

              Pretty pointless to do that, especially in Europe most people is getting limited GB plans, so definitely streaming movies or downloading big files is pointless, so pitting more speed in modem pointless too, maybe in Asia situation is better or in USA there you can get kind of unlimited data plans

                why would want so high speed if data is not unlimited? 9and if i have to pay a lot for extra GB of data)
                it is useless, 4g itself is useless if data is not unlimited, i would prefer slower speeds but unlimited data

                  Nice for once with a sentence that includes the words "LTE modem" without also including the word Qualcomm.

                    For some that wanna buy a new phone, it's great to know that they phone were CA ready when the network have it. So, they don't need to change their new phone when CA were available.

                            1: The Exynos 8895 link is broken
                            2: Cool, but which countries have carrier aggregation? I know that Bell+Telus have 4CA, Rogers+Vidéotron have 2CA... but what about the rest of the world? The US are stuck at 22Mbps no? And so many other countries' LTE infrastructures are simply deficient, bringing only slow 3G+ speeds over an LTE network.

                              At least my carrier provides me cheap internet data, arround $25 for 30GB and gives maximum speed up to 11Mbps meanwhile in some parts of the globe they still stucked to use 3G or even 2G.

                              I am still happy tho, to download an HD movie i need just less than 5 minutes (when i used to use 3G,it took a lot longer) and for now 11Mbps still suffices my internet activities without too long buffering so i won't complain ;-)

                                So next time the Qualcomm come with more cat

                                    Anonymous, 31 Jul 2017Unlimited data is far more important than ridiculous speeds... moreBesides, the maximum I used a month is 2.20GB. 6GB is still a lot

                                      Anonymous, 31 Jul 2017Unlimited data is far more important than ridiculous speeds... moreWell if fast speeds pair up with good data plans, that is the best. Just like my plan, I am getting 6GB data plan every month. Fast speeds doesn't mean it will use more data, it improves the loading speed so everything will be faster and still use with the same amount of data :). 500mbps FTW!!!
