How we're using our mobile devices is changing, Skinny Direct gets it.
It's no surprise that we are living in an increasingly data hungry age. As customers engage in more data-rich activities such as HD video streaming, Snapchat, mobile data use is rapidly increasing year on year. In August 2016, it was reported that New Zealand has 118 mobile broadband connections per 100 people.
With this rapid increase in data usage, it's only natural that we're curious about the mobile applications that use our data. Consider Facebook, for many, a ubiquitous part of daily life. On your phone, it would use about 5MB every 15 minutes, not too bad right?
Compare that with YouTube on high definition, an eye watering 60MB every 15 minutes.
That's only three music videos. Apps that require video and images such as SnapChat, Instagram and Pinterest sit somewhere between the two. Our mobile broadband speeds are now fast enough to video Skype, pretty awesome but will set you back about 20 MB every 15 minutes.
As our demand for data grows, we should also consider our mobile providers. We need to look for a company that is evolving as fast as we are. Enter Skinny Direct.
