How much usage would I need?

Not gunna delve into reasons as not set in stone yet, things have just been 'talked about' regarding living arrangements etc :)

Basically may have to take out our own broadband package. But I dont know how much usage i'd need for what I do on the net

Basically I:

Spend most of my time on forums, includes viewing pictures
Upload pics to photobucket
Watch minimum of 40 minutes of online tv a day
Watch some youtube vids but not many

I dont download music now since limewire stopped....

How many GBs do you reckon i'll need to be safe (not go over usage) each month

And what company do you recommend for a good deal. Not interested in sky tv, just broadband (and phone since that seems to come regardless of whether you want it or not!)
I'm not a bloke! :rotfl:My real name is Sinead, Sid is my nickname :rotfl:

    Suggest you refer to the 4th sticky down from top of this page. Use something like NetMeter to monitor your usage for a few weeks.
    'Best deal' will depend what is available on your exchange-broadband is exchange specific.
    Do an exchange search on www.samknows.com and look for your LLU options, these will be the best deals fro you.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
