1. A mobile information terminal capable of performing data transmission and reception to/from an outside of the mobile information terminal, the mobile information terminal comprising:
a display;
a communication processor configured to perform the data transmission and reception including video data reception of video data; and
a main controller connected to the communication processor,
wherein the main controller is configured to:
obtain, from the outside, a total data communication amount indicating a limit capable of high-speed communication by the mobile information terminal within a predetermined period;
set a predetermined value, which is determined based on the obtained total data communication amount and is less than the obtained total data communication amount, in accordance with a number of days elapsed from a start of the predetermined period;
obtain a cumulative data communication amount of data which has been transmitted and received by the communication processor from the start of the predetermined period to a viewing start point of the video data;
determine an image quality for the video data in accordance with the cumulative data communication amount of data;
transmit a setting value corresponding to the image quality to an external device storing the video data;
receive the video data having the image quality from the external device; and
display the video data having the image quality on the display.
