I have a Jenna Jameson endorsed version of Spyware - Search and arouse so I'll be fine.

Well checking my temp files it turns out I get about 500MB per 15 days, which is 1GB per month. That leaves 2GB for Op Flash, which runs at about 10kbps, I estimate, which is about 32MB per hour, which gives me quite a lot of leeway.

The ntl website, however, suggests that i'll only be allowed 0.5hours of online gaming (but for some reason they estimate usage as 40kbps for online gaming, which is way too high)

Yeah.

Just trying to work out how much I currently use at the moment. Got a few computers networked that all use the web.
1GBa day seems like a lot though, hmmmm.

They're not, they're just not raising them!

Plus 3mb is too expensive for us, there's 4 of us in the house who use the Internet, and we're students!

But they won't be enforcing the caps until later in the year, and even then if you exceed your cap, you'll just be bumped down to 300K, which has no cap, for the rest of the month, or you can pay for more.
