It’s always nice to have “extra” data in the digital world that is ever-increasing our data usage so let’s take a look at what your 30 extra MB can do for you.

If you have an extra 30 MB lying around you can perform basic online tasks like checking email, surfing websites, shopping online, making an appointment, checking messages in a healthcare portal, making an appointment to service your vehicle, and hitting social media. You can make up to 20 social media posts with a photo; look at 50 different web pages, read 75 emails, download a 25-page PDF, and stream about 15-20 minutes of music.

It's not a tremendous amount but it’ll do for the basics. You won’t be streaming movies or TV shows with 30 MB because streaming in Standard Definition uses 500 MB per hour. Streaming in HD is off the table at this data level.

These activities are per device so if you have more than one person doing them at a time, make sure you add those MB in to ensure you’re not going over your 30 MB amount.
