Actual iPhone data usage on Rogers much less than you thought...

 According to a recent post on Engadget Mobile 91.2% of all iPhone users chew through less than 100MB of data in a month.

If you were one of the people that complained to me about the data plans I would now like to serve you up a huge heaping serving of I told you so!!! 
 
A lot of people were up in arms about Rogers data plans claiming that they would blow through more that 2GB every month which is pretty much ridiculous unless you are tethering the phone or looking at a ton "high quality videos" on your device.
 
Most people are using the iPhone for a moderate amount of data with GPS, email, web browsing and the odd App and this type of usage simply can’t consume the large amounts of data that was being predicted.
 
If you are part of the 1.2% of users that managed to go through over 1GB of data the last couple of months (and are not a developer or somehow tethering your device) maybe you should lay off the "high quality videos.
