50 GB plan under pressure
1080p video and a modest hotspot habit
A realistic mid-heavy usage pattern that often surprises people who assume browsing and music are the main drivers.
Result: The plan runs out early because video dominates much more than browsing or music.
Budget commuter plan
Light video with mostly music and browsing
Useful for checking whether a cheaper tier is still safe when the phone is not acting like a replacement home connection.
Result: A lighter routine can fit comfortably in a smaller plan if video stays constrained.
4K danger zone
Even short 4K sessions can dominate the month
This scenario shows how quickly premium streaming quality can blow up a plan that looked adequate on paper.
Result: Higher video quality often forces a bigger plan even if every other category stays moderate.
