What is a gigabyte?Ī gigabyte measures the amount of data you send and receive over the network. For example, if your emails have large attachments, the usage for that application may exceed what we have estimated in the data calculator. Individual usage results may vary based on the applications you use and the content you access.

This includes software updates, email notifications, syncing photos, videos and files to the cloud, and social media posts. When you access the Internet through your home network, wired or WiFi, using any device (including smartphones, tablets, or other devices that access the Internet), it will reflect your data usage. Usage includes all the data you use download & upload. Given the rapidly increasing volume of data-rich Internet traffic, this program is designed to help keep Internet service affordable for our broad base of customers.
