Is ~256MB of data usage when idle, per day, normal?

I used less than 256MB all month. .

That seems way to low for a Droid.

It is what it is...

Like I said, on a daily basis i'll use it for some light web browsing, facebook updates, maybe update a market app, google maps, and some slacker radio streaming.

I don't use email much, so i'm not downloading attachments.... 256MB a month is 8.5MB a day. If i'm doing anything serious on the internet, i'm using my laptop.

Just out of curiosity, how do you hit 6GB a month?

do it all the time myself... I do almost all my web browsing from my phone... download all kinds of stuff. I only really use my pc to game. the web browser is so convenient... i have a netbook and laptop, but the laptop battery is deceased and the netbook well, the droid battery lasts quite longer and the droid web experience is quite excellent. There are all kinds of chat programs running. roms downloading, files updating, news updates. it's really a pocket laptop. by far more customizable than any counterpart. excluding other rooted android devices. I bet we will soon see phones booting windows xp with the new intel x86 chips coming out. God damn man I remember my pc in 1998 was 550 mhz lmfao. if you only download 250 megs per month, ur not using it right.

Are you running a custom rom?
