I'm talking about general internet usage. The test was only 20 megs of the total
usage. The rest was via some browsing, an AVG Free update, posting thse messages
and downloading new ones.

And it was over a half hour period. If I hadn't done the tests it would be less
but if I was on for an hour or so, I daresay that I'd have used more than 20
megs in that time.

The data allowance is 500 megs. I tend to use around 60% of that each month. But
if I were to rely on it as my normal internet service it'd end up costing me a
fortune.

I'm used to paying $50/mth for 50 gigs peak, 50 gigs off peak on my DSL service.
This is more than adequate for my needs, so when I use nearly 10 percent of my
monthly mobile data in a half hour period, and which costs me around 40% of my
DSL data, if I had to g mobile, say because my phone line fails, I'd be treating
it like when we used to have dialup. Get on, download messages, brief browsing
and log off.

I'll have a play with it on the last day. If I still have a goodly amount left
I'll fire up the netbook and get on for a while. Browse the forums, read the
paper, download/upload Usenet posts and so on. I'll time it, note the usages and
post it on here if anyone's interested.
