    Meteor have a 2 gig data pack with one of their offers... si that alot?


    Essentially i want it for browsing the internet watching youtube.. no downloading really mainly browsing and watching videos..

    I know its a "how long is a piece of string" question, but is 2 gig alot per month or am i likely to over shoot that amount?

    Unless you download films or the like 2gb should more than cover your needs I'd imagine.
    The google home page is 1kb, average web pages are about 25kb I think, so you would be doing well to bust 2gb in a month imo..

    is there a way of keeping track of your useage per month to see if you are close to going over? ie.. how much you have used?

    3G Watchdog

    Watching video's will eat into your data allowance fairly quickly. 3G Watchdog is great for keeping an eye on it.

    If you spend a lot of time on youtube you can burn through 2 gbs fast. Most videos on there now are in high definition. Same goes for the other naughtier tube sites. Be careful.

    Free version does the job perfectly.
