    Don't spend five pounds to dry clean a shirt. Donate it to the charity shop instead. They'll clean it and put it on a hanger. Next morning buy it back for two pounds.

    My connection is 2Mb/s. I'm on a capped product at 1GB, and still use the Onspeed compression.

    I installed NetMeter recently to measure the use. The stats show NetMeter 1.8GB, Onspeed 800MB from 5GB. This means you could count my total for 2 months as either 1.8 or 6GB; I voted 0-2 GB.

    I'm currently using Netmeter to measure my usage, as I'm measuring it to see if I can go down a package on BT Yahoo Broadband. Judging by the results so far I reckon I download around 5GB per month. This consists mainly of music(Napster), online gaming, and videos etc. My speed is 1MB.

    A lot :)

    I'm guessing between 15-25gB

    The beauty of unlimited Broadband (AOL, 2mB) means I don't have to worry about how much!

    My limit is 2Gb, but I'm worried about going over. Where can I download Netmeter from?

    Those of you that have high download figures, what do you download that makes it so high? Is it movies and things like that?
