If you plan to rent a device with the Europe Pack allowing 50 GB per month in Europe, you can rest assured that all your family will be able to connect without problems. Reading an email, browsing the Internet, and listening to online music require ridiculous data usage compared to the 50 GB per month allowed by our devices.
The only real “DATA EATER” is the video streaming. The higher the video resolution is, the higher the GB consumption will be. For this reason, if you plan to watch videos often, please check below the average hourly data consumption for the main streaming platforms.
Generally, you can set the video quality depending on the service you use. We suggest you be informed about it by the same service FAQs.
50 GB let you watch movies:
Please consider that automatic updates can use a significant amount of data! While generally updating an app uses a few MB of traffic (1 MB is equivalent to the thousandth part of 1 GB) and therefore does not significantly affect the 50 GB available, updating a PC or console OS can use a relevant data volume, even higher than 50 GB! For this reason, please temporarily set your own devices so that updates are not allowed automatically when connected via Wi-Fi.
