Do you ever check to see how much mobile data you are using on your cell phones? I have the by-the-gig option, and have never used more than 1gb of mobile data, and my cell phone bill is $13.65 per month. Using the phone for calls does not use any mobile data. You also don't use data when you are connected to wifi. In The Villages, almost everywhere I go, there is a free wifi connection available. In many areas, I am automatically connected to an Xfinity wifi hotspot.

When I say Jiggawatt I believe I caught that term in Back To The Future about 40 years ago. I really don't have a clue. All I know is the Television doesn't buffer at all anymore.
I did manage my Data when I was with Verizon but when we moved to Xfinity Mobile I thought $30 a month was pretty fair. We use about 10 Jiggawatts each per month. YouTube Music is the thing that eats up the Data for us.
I like your posts better than mine because I just know the basics. Many people on here know the real deal and I have learned a whole lot. I have learned a lot of technical stuff on TOTV'S and then cross-check it on YouTube. Toymeister saved me several years back when I was about to make a big mistake with a generator. Much appreciated to all of you knowledgeable ones.
CWGUY is the one who convinced me to get a couple of Roku's and start streaming. I was afraid to do it but now it's a piece of cake. I am desperate to learn. I miss CWGUY, he was a card!
