Just playing around now I am FAP'ed. So I figured I would do some test just for fun. So how did I get here in the 1st place? Well I had to reset my cell phone. It got a ton of updates. I obvi...
Software updates are data hogs. And there are updates all the time nowadays, it seems.
Is the 5.84 Mbps a measurement during FAP? If so, that's pretty awesome. Other people in the past have mentioned their FAP experience was very good.
You do have unlimited data....you've run out of your allowance and you're still using the system. HN doesn't cut you off. :)
iOS and iPadOS updates seem to be monthly.
App updates seem to be weekly, minimum.
Yes, and when you have several iOS devices, the data consumption adds up.
One other thing I recently noticed on macOS: There's this process that periodically (and very inefficiently) synchs a lot of data at a 1-2 Mbps rate to your iCloud account. Seems to go on for a very long time, and I've seen it happen twice a day.
I haven't actually noticed that but I know it happens because my iCloud account is always synched. My Mac is turned off until I can properly update it, but iPads and iPhones get synched too. Lots of data.
