New iPad Can Max Your Data Plan In 10 Minutes
One careless download of a 1080p high-definition movie from the iTunes Store over 4G could eat up your entirely monthly plan and then some.
In fact, if you could achieve download speeds at the theoretical maximum 72Mbps of LTE, you could blow through a 5GB plan in just under 10 minutes, and Verizon’s largest 10GB tier in about 20. Real-world speeds of course are actually going to be somewhat lower, but we’re still talking about the potential to obliterate your entire expensive monthly data plan in much less than a single day.
