One thing many streamers likely didn't plan on watching, though, was their data usage. Streaming all of your TV can use up a lot of data, and fast. Some internet providers limit monthly data usage to 1 TB or lower, and may throttle speeds or charge fees when you go over.

Do you use data when streaming on Wi-Fi?

Wi-Fi Only – You will only be able to stream on the device while connected to Wi-Fi. Save Data – Watch about 6 hours per GB of data. Maximum Data – Recommended only if you have an unlimited data plan. This setting will stream at the highest possible quality for your device and the content you are viewing.

When using Wi-Fi does it count as data?

The answer is no. Generally, when your phone is connected to your home or any other Wi-Fi network, it will not connect to the 5G, 4G, 3G, or any type of wireless carrier network. Any data used via Wi-Fi will not count toward your data plan.
