We're doing more online than ever before—

sending emails, sharing photos,

and downloading or streaming music and videos.

All of these activities contribute

to your Internet data usage.

Data is the amount of online information sent or received

from your home Internet connection,

not how much time you're online.

You may be using data on your devices

when you surf the Internet, stream movies,

check your email, or play games—

anytime you're connected to your home network,

including when connected to your Wi-Fi.

This could even include apps

on your Internet-connected television.

And programs running in the background on your devices,

such as syncing or software updates, may use data.

Except for unlimited plans,

your Internet plan has a monthly allowance of data

based on your speed level.

Because the plans have so much data,

many customers will never reach the limit

of their data allowance.

For example, even on plans with the lowest data allowance,

you could watch about 50 hours of high-def movies

or about 175 hours of standard- definition movies in a month

and still stay within your data allowance.

To help you manage your usage,

we'll even send you email notices

if your data use is approaching your allowance.

So, to make the best choice for which plan works for you,

let's take a look at a personalized estimate

of how much data your common online activities may use.

We have a handy tool at att.com/internet-usage

called the Data Calculator.

With this calculator,

you'll be able to estimate how many of your online activities

impact your Internet data usage.

For example, if you send 500 one-page emails,

stream 20 hours of songs,

and stream 15 hours of HD video,

all of that online activity

will only use around 40 gigabytes in a month.

Or, here's another example, if you're into games and movies.

You can spend 320 hours playing online games,

and stream 30 hours of HD movies.

Even with all that online usage,

you'll only be using around 90 gigabytes in a month.

That's a lot of data.

Yep! You can do all this

before exceeding your monthly data allowance.

Using the Data Calculator as a guide,

you may want to adjust your Internet activities

or even change your Internet plan to another available plan,

based on your usage.

Please note: At this time,

customers with Fixed Wireless or DSL Internet

are not eligible for the unlimited data allowance.

If you use more data than your plan's allowance,

there may be an overage fee of $10

for each 50 gigabytes of additional data.

But, to keep it stress free,

we won't charge you for the first two overages.

To see your usage details, just sign in to your myAT&T account

with your app or at att.com.

Select "My Internet"

and any overage fees are labeled as overage packs

in the MY USAGE section.

Want to upgrade to a faster plan with more data,

or even unlimited data if it's available in your area?

Just select "Manage my plan".

We also make it easy to track your previous

and current Internet usage by selecting "See all my usage".

You can check current usage on the go

using the myAT&T app on your smartphone or tablet.

Or, just sign in to your account at att.com

to check your data usage at any time.

Thanks for learning more and choosing AT&T!
