Anyone else experiencing that their data is being chewed up a lot more quickly recently than it had been previously under more or less the same usage?

Did your old plan have unmetered uploads? (Optus haven't done this on new plans for a loooong time, so doubt it)

Maybe your texting/ringing more non-optus members?

Is this mobile? It's a known problem

I changed from Telstra to Optus in January. I used to surf the web on my phone using 3G an easy 3 hours + a day without using 1GB of data. When I switched to the new phone I used a GB in 3 days. (I've since turned off all applications using 3G save a few and usually keep mobile data off). I'm not sure if this is necessarily the service provider -- it could be because I went from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 6 (maybe photos are displayed at a higher resolution that uses more data or something - I have no idea. But I've definitely had a similar issue lol.

@ Everyone - same phone and prepaid plan for two years, unlimited texts, and don't call much. It's definitely a data issue and I swear my habits haven't changed much. My only other idea is that WiFi could be dropping out without me realising or Optus is playing silly buggers with data.
