Mobile Broadband Data Usage

Approximate Data Usage Examples: Basic information and examples showing the approximate data usage for several common Internet activities appear below.

 

The speed of the Verizon Wireless data network is measured in Kilobits (kb) per second. However, the amount of data transmitted over the Verizon Wireless data network is measured in Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes (MB) or Gigabytes (GB).
Bit A unit of information that represent a single character.
Byte A unit of information composed of 8 bits.
Kilobyte 1024 bytes (measuring the number of kilobytes tells you the size of a file and/or the amount of data you have used).
Megabyte 1024 Kilobytes (measuring the number of megabytes tells you the size of a file and/or the amount of data you have used).
Gigabyte 1024 Megabytes (measuring the number of gigabytes tells you the amount of data you have used).
