Inutek service plans include a substantial amount of included usage.
However you may be wondering how far 1,000 Megabytes (MBs) will get you.
We have provided several examples here to help you better understand the
relationship between regular online activities and the amount of usage they incur.
Each of the activities below would generate 1,000 MB of data transfer:

- Receive up to 1,000 average digital photos
