It’s so variable it’s hard to say. Much depends on how media rich the pages you visit are. Facebook with videos on autoplay would use that up in a couple of hours. My family with all their varied activities have probably used 200MB in the time it’s taken me to write this. I think it’s fair to say that 200MB is almost nothing and next to useless, except perhaps in a power cut if you needed to check your local distribution company website and the BBC news occasionally. I’d certainly stay off commercial news websites with all their in-your-face overlays and autoplay video adverts.
