    Hey

    Never had a download limit on my broadband connection. Now Im Moving into a new place that has NTL broadband and a 20gb limit.


    Is there any way for me to check how my much I have "downloaded" in the past month or so on my current internet connection???? (Irish broadband) This would very much help establishing whether it will be sufficient


    Also, does streaming videos (such as youtube) count as downloading? Does Making Skype calls count as much downloading??


    Thanks in advance for your knowledge and input;)

    Afaik, NTL don't have an online checker (unless they set up on recently) like the other ISPs.
    The only way you can find out how much you've downloaded is to ring them.

    You could also use a program like DUMeter to keep track.

    Everything that comes from the internet to your PC counts including what you mentioned.
