How much internet do you need per day? 2024

Added: 18.01.2024, Updated: 02.02.2024,

Today, most people cannot imagine life without the Internet. It is needed for work, the operation of basic home appliances or entertainment. How much data is consumed in a day? What does it depend on and how to ensure Internet access abroad?

How much internet is consumed by the most important applications?

Netflix Streaming Service running with Unlimited and Fast XOXO WiFi Internet. Each application consumes a completely different amount of Internet. It all depends primarily on the weight of the data transferred. The biggest load is generated by streaming services, such as Netflix. Watching a video for an hour at medium quality consumes 700 MB. In 4K, it's up to 7 GB. Listening to music for an hour, on the other hand, consumes between 40 and 150 MB.

For social media, data consumption per hour is as follows:

Facebook - at least 100 MB,
Instagram - 100-150 MB,
Twitter - 50 MB,
Messenger - for individual messages it is only a few kB. Voice calls consume 15-20 MB.

Web browsing, on the other hand, involves the consumption of 50 to 200 MB per hour. It all depends on the number of pages loaded and large files like photos and videos.

How much internet you need per day depends mainly on how you use your smartphone. Usually it is more than 1 GB per day, but when watching movies and TV series intensively, you can consume up to a dozen GB of data per day. It is also important to remember that many applications run in the background.

Internet consumption while traveling abroad

XOXO WiFi Mobile Router

While in Poland you can count on very attractive mobile data offers, abroad the issue is sometimes much more complicated. In the European Union, you can enjoy several GB of free Internet per month, as part of your subscription. Outside the EU, the cost of 1 MB is even several tens of zlotys. This means that for an hour of Internet use while roaming, at best you will pay more than 1,000 zlotys. This is a huge cost, considering how much internet you need per day, so it is worth looking for alternatives.

A good solution for those traveling outside the European Union is to rent an eSIM router from XOXO WiFi. This is a device that automatically connects to the network in up to 150 countries. It provides access to unlimited Internet almost all over the world. The user pays once, when ordering the device - unlike local prepaid SIM cards, which have to be recharged as the funds in the account are used up. Up to five devices can be connected to the eSIM router from XOXO WiFi at the same time and use the network in a similar way as in Poland.
