"iPhone not king pig: Verizon 3G phone users gobble most data By Jacqui Cheng | Last updated July 27, 2010 4:30 PM iPhone users may be notorious data hogs that have done nothing but pillage and plunder AT&T's network, but it's Verizon's smartphone users who consume the most data per month. That's according Validas (a company that optimizes wireless phone bills), which analyzed 20,000 wireless bills between January and May 2010 to find that Verizon smartphone users consume more data than iPhone users at a ratio of 1.25 to 1. According to Validas, the average data consumption for non-Blackberry Verizon smartphones was 421MB per month, compared to the 338MB per month consumed by AT&T iPhone users. 11 percent of Verizon subscribers use between 500MB and 1GB per month, while only 5.6 percent of iPhone users do the same. In fact, although many iPhone users complained when AT&T recently put a 2GB data cap on its subscribers, only 1.6 percent of iPhone users used that much bandwidth according to Validas' data, compared to 4 percent of Verizon smartphone users."
