With new technology comes new tech speak.

Bits, bytes, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, petabyte, even exabyte; it's all about data.

But have you ever thought what these data measurements actually mean in the real world to the average person?

Most people have little idea how much data they are using and a figure like 10GB can feel like just a number.

To give you an idea, here are seven fun ways to use 10GB in a mobile phone plan.

1. Sixty hours of cat videos

OK, so you would never use your whole 10GB on cat videos, but what could be more fun and make a person happier than a mad moggie doing crazy things? If this is your bag, 10GB will get you plenty of thrills and kitty spills.

Ten GB will get roughly 60 hours of funny cat videos which should be enough to satisfy even the most ardent cat lover.

2. Download 2,500 songs

From love songs to rock tunes, you can fill your life with melody. This many GBs will get you over 125 hours of music. That's enough for all your favourite tunes.

3. One hundred hours of Facebook

6. Upload 1,000 holiday photos

Store your holiday and special occasion photos for all time as 10GB gives you plenty of space to upload and save. Put them in the cloud and ensure your precious memories are safe and accessible forever.

7. Ten hours of video streaming on Netflix or Stan

As long as you don't spend hours binge watching the latest series on your favourite streaming service, 10GB should cover a modest amount each month.

In the real world

Most people will do a range of these activities over the course of a month, so you need to find a provider with a plan that works for you.

Take Pennytel for example, their new 10GB plan comes with unlimited talk and text within Australia as well as to 10 different countries, keeping you connected to those you love without the expense.

It is worth taking an inventory of your data use and finding if this plan works for you. For more great deals call Pennytel now on 1300 262 146.
