FAQ

Why should I look at my Data Breakdown

If you are concerned about which websites or apps use up your data, Data Breakdown helps you review your data usage over a period of time.

What is a category?

A category shown in your Data Breakdown usage is usually a single website or app (e.g. Facebook). In some cases websites are grouped into an umbrella category to make it easier to understand your usage. For example, many obscure websites will fall under a category of "Browsing".

Why isn't the website I go to every day appearing in my top 5?

Sometimes the websites you visit use other websites to provide content. For example, if you view a video on a particular site, you may be accessing the video via YouTube or another streaming site. Some websites may also use more data than others.

Can I also see Data Breakdown for my Home Broadband service?

Data Breakdown usage is only available for your data usage on the Optus mobile network.

Why do you only show my top 5 visited websites or apps?

Analysis has shown that five categories generally cover most of the data consumed within a month.

Will data free streaming show up in Data Breakdown?

If you are on a plan that includes data free Mobile TV and music streaming this usage will show up in your Data Breakdown. This is because Data Breakdown is a representation of all the data you have consumed within a period of time, including data free streaming.

Why is there no data available?

If you're a new customer there will be no data usage for previous months. For Postpaid customers, you may have just entered a new billing cycle and have not consumed any data within the current period.

Can the account holder see Data Breakdown for every service in the Data Pool?

No. You can only view Data Breakdown for your SIM card. Data Breakdown for shared services are not accessible by the account holder.
