Internet Usage

A question for all you technophiles out there.

Why is it when I use my newly purchased laptop to access the internet, my data evaporates very quickly compared to my mobile phone?

I have exhausted 25 Gb in the space of 13 days and I don't stream movies, TV or music. My main data requirements are used for researching for my studies, on SDC and one other sporting forum, and personal research on my favourite subjects. And of course, accessing my two email accounts.

I used to make 10 Gb last for a month on my mobile phone and have enough left to rollover. What's going on?

Not a real technophile, however are you logging into your laptop with your mobile password? If so, it will chew it up quickly.
You will need an internet provider.
