As per my google search is says for 1 gig of data you can watch youtube at an average of 5 hours. I got all my other apps toggled not to use date on one of my bus trips and watches a couple of videos. When i checked from my 5 gig plan, 1.6 gigs was used. I know there is a delay of 12 hours, but i am 100% sure i was using wifi all day before my trip since I was only at home. I watched a good 20-30 minutes of medium resolution videos and i got a notification that i have used 90% of my data. How can this be?! any tips? And should i go to rogers about this?

Hello @Sbusinos30,
Welcome to the Rogers Community Forums.
I know it's important to keep track of data usage to ensure you've not gone over the allotted data in your plan. Auto-play videos, location services, push emails are few of the several different ways your data is constantly used.
I would recommend you to check out the Tips to Manage Wireless Data Usage page to find ways to best optimize your wireless data.
Hope this helps :).

If you know you want to watch videos on your several hour bus trip, why not download the videos to your device prior to departing. Use home Wifi data instead of cell data.
I do this when heading off on a plane. Of course no cell data at 32,000 feet.
