2.5GB per month at 46kbps? Let's see: 46kbps is about 4.6kBps. x 3600
seconds/hour gives us 16.6MB/hour. x 24 hours/day gives ~400MB/day. x 30
days/month gives 12 GB per month maximum. Meaning you're connected and
downloading full speed about 5 hours per day or you're averaging ~1kBps
every second of the month. Do you have a life away from the computer?
