Your #1 Source for Xplornet High Speed Internet Service
Considering Xplornet Internet service but not sure how much data you'll need each month?
Most customers don't have a clue as to how much data they use each month.You’ll want an Internet package that has enough monthly data to suit your needs but still stay within your budget.
First in non-technical terms, “data usage” is the amount of Internet used or bandwidth required for each activity you do with your Internet service. Some online activities use much more data than others. In particular streaming full-screen video (Netflix) uses an abundance of your monthly data allowance. Basically everything you do that requires an Internet connection uses your data. And this is true whether you’re hard wired or connected via your personal Wi-Fi network (wireless router).
Look at the examples below. This will give you an idea of how much data you'll require each month. If you’re still not sure which plan to choose call us at 506-625-2900.
