Verizon Data Usage Increasing Sharply Month-to-Month?

I have a Verizon family plan w/ 10gb of data usage per month. My wife and I use the majority of data each month. We both have iPhone 5 s running most recent iOS 8.3 update.

Prior to February 2015 I was using less than 1gb /month and my wife was using about 7gb /month. Starting in February my data usage increased drastically to 4gb /month and my wife s usage decreased to about 5gb /month.

Nothing significant changed in February besides maybe updating iPhones to iOS 8. We def use Wi-Fi at home and work and don't use significant amount of media each month on phones.

With the additional small amount of data from other family members we're now using 10+gb /month.

1. Any ideas on why my data usage would increase so dramatically? And at same time my wife s decreased?

2. What is the usual data usage per month for iPhone 5/6?

Okay good

  • What does Mbps mean and can it run up my computer's usage a month? Every month I have a limit for my internet and my step dad has his iphone connected to my computer and he is online. Does that mean his Iphone can use my internet usage or does his Iphone have no effect to that?
  • What determines the clearness of a photo when increasing the size? I've been taking photos with my iPhone 4S and yes the pictures are great but I recently found out when I find a picture I decide I would like to blow up and print ( larger than a 8 by 10) it comes out blurry. Does the higher the megapixel Make it able to be enlarged? I'm now looking into a dslr canon.
