As it appears that you have a very small cap if you download this free program >

You can set it with your cap. It will show a running display of your usage and keep running logs on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. It will also, work out daily what you have left for the rest of the month and how much you can use each day. It will also warn you when you are approaching that limit.

It will also give some idea how fast your using your limit.

Don’t listen to the first comment, that was incorrect. You can’t even get 5gb connection of those dongles these days anyways. 5gb is the limit you can download and upload in a month. So honestly it isnt that much, if you are going to be video streaming news everyday, you should leave the mobile home packages for that. Just to let you know. Cheers

BE VERY CAREFUL. I bought a 3G+ box for my desktop (In Réunion Island, it’s part of France) for 150Mo at 30€ per month. I used it as part of some English lessons that I was giving, and far from going over the top the resulting bills for two months have been around 1000€ ie £750. The fact being that once you go over your monthly limit you are very heavily taxed (approx 10€ per minute).

Of course I should have read the very very very small print, but the whole thing is a fix.

Sadder but wiser, I tend to use my desktop where there is a Wi Fi hotspot, so I can connect without using the 3G+.

I wouldn’t watch any movie without going to the shop and getting some very concrete information first.

Having said that, I also have a regular ADSL deal at home which is unlimited access for 30€.
