Free sites?

I go on free sites like cheeky bingo and posh bingo but noticed the warning on here for iplayer using up your internet. The other day someone was asking a chat host if the bingo site used up your internet. Why I am asking is because I usually can manage with a £15 3gb top up for three for my dongle per month. This month I have used up 2 and now need to top up yet again. Any info much appreciated

    any site that has flash videos or on-line gaming will use up a ton of data as they are constantly receiving sending data to update them self's so if you have a limit on the allowance this will eat it up so think before you surf . Also with 3 you have varibles like signal strengh and how many people are useing the cell
  • I cant see how sites like could use that much bandwidth - but it wouldn't shock me if they do.

    Check your usage before and after an hours use and see how much you've used.
