I just read this over at
Tom's: MegaFon, a network operating in Russia recently ran a contest to see who could download the most 3G data in a week. Turns out the winner downloaded 419GB!
The Next Web cites Russian site C News in reporting that customers of Russian network MegaFon who purchased a 3G modem between November 1, 2011 and January 31, 2012 were asked to download as much data as they could during that period. At stake was a prize from travel agency Neva, which was offering a $5000 vacation for the person who used the most data.
Personally, I work from home so I usually download using my wired connection but when I was testing Rogers/Bell LTE I easily did a couple 100GB in one week with a demo line. In a 2hr period I downloaded around 30GB with Rogers and in a 20 min sitting I managed 6GB.
What's the most you've ever downloaded over 3G/4G?
