107 MB in two days is possible - are you listening to pandora / netflix or any other streaming app while you are away from the wireless? Are you sure the wireless is staying connected all the time? Are you using any apps that require cellualr location services? If the wireless drops it automaticly swaps back to cellular data. Are you autoupdating or autoscanning your facebook page. Most smartphones will shutdown the wifi and switch back to cellular if the phone hibernates and is not plugged in for charging.
go into the hpne settings and turn off cellular data then turn back on wifi settings, that way the phone will not autoswitch and you will know exactly when the wifi drops becuase you will lose connection.

Consumers simply shoulder the taxes of the companies. Fewer people actually have a traditional phone. Mobile phones are the favored way of voice conversation and smartphones are becoming the preferred platform. For that reason, wireless expenses have been going up continuously in the past few years.

All expenses have been going up - from the cost of cat food to the cost of a galleon of gas, personally will never give up the standard POTS line in my house nor the emergency backup POTS lines at my business, unlike cell phones they rarely have connection issues.
