Business Internet using the HUb

[nash211]

  Does anyone use the Telus Business Internet Hub, if so do they do allot of internet browsing and the occasional small downloads, just wondering if the 10gb is enough.

There are a number of topics on this and other boards discussing data volumes. For some 10 GB is not nearly sufficient; for others it more than suffices. For the use you describe 10 GB may well be sufficient, but there are hidden downloads as week, as SA points out.

Have you any way to measure your current consumption? Or possibly, you could enter into a trial with an appropriate device or tethered phone to see?

EDIT: On a recent vacation, the two of us consumed about 1 GB / week using phone, two tablets, and occasionally a laptop. we had some access to Wi-Fi, but mostly used the tethered phone. We avoided sites with video.

No, I don't have that service.

But if you have many Windows computers, just the updates each month may be more than the 10GB limit.
