How Much Is It & How Long Does It Last? Mobile Data Limits 10gb of Data

If you're looking for a mobile phone plan with 10GB of data, prices currently start from £7/month in the UK. With your 10GB of data, you'll be able to browse the internet for approximately 120 hours per month, to stream 2,000 songs online or to watch 20 hours of online video in standard definition.

In this article, we'll discuss what you can do with 10GB of data and how long you can expect your 10GB allowance to last for. We'll also discuss 10GB data plans, where you can find one in the UK and how much you can expect to pay.

How Much Is 10GB Data?

In the UK, a number of mobile networks currently offer 10GB data plans. There's a choice of 10 mobile networks if you're looking for a Pay Monthly SIM card, and a further choice of 8 networks if you're looking for a more flexible Pay As You Go bundle.

Pay Monthly SIM Cards

If you're looking for the lowest possible prices, you can get a Pay Monthly SIM card with 10GB of data from £7.00/month. The following table shows a list of currently available deals:

10 Gb is roughly 10.000 Megabyte one MB is about 1000 Kb. 1 Kb roughly corresponds to 1 A4 page of text, which makes one gig roughly one million pages of text.

It’s a lot of text but not exactly ‘Big Data’. Big Data starts in PetaBytes.

To give an idea: The prefix peta indicates the fifth power of 1000 and means 1015 in the International System of Units (SI), and therefore 1 petabyte is one quadrillion (short scale) bytes, or 1 billiard (long scale) bytes. The unit symbol for the petabyte is PB.

1 PB = 1000000000000000B = 1015bytes = 1000terabytes.

A related unit, the pebibyte (PiB), using a binary prefix, is equal to 10245 bytes, which is more than 12% greater (250 bytes = 1125899906842624bytes).

Usage examples Edit

Examples:

Telecommunications (capacity): The world's effective capacity to exchange information through two-way telecommunication networks was 281 petabytes of information in 1986, 471 petabytes in 1993, 2,200 petabytes in 2000, and 65,000 petabytes in 2007 (this is the informational equivalent to every person exchanging 6 newspapers per day).

Telecommunications (usage): In 2008, AT&T transfers about 30 petabytes of data through its networks each day.

Internet: Google processed about 24 petabytes of data per day in 2009. The BBC's iPlayer is reported to have transferred up to 7 petabytes each month in 2010. Imgur transfers about 4 petabytes of data per month.

It is a relative question - and it does take quite some time to get one’s head around what these sizes mean and to get a ‘feel’ for them.

10Gb, in general terms, is a lot yes. But it depends on what it is. AAA title computer games are stretching to just about the 100Gb mark. 10Gb is roughly two HD movies encoded in mp4 format, which is a very high, but efficient compression.

10Gb of word documents are a LOT! 10Gb of movies or series, is not that much. 10Gb of music, is quite a bit. 10Gb of games can be about 3–5 indie games, and wont make a AAA title game. 10Gb of photos is quite a bit, if its jpg; whilst if it is photoshop files, then its about 150–160 photos.

But it all depends.
