    I need a bit of help.I'm a bit of a dunce when it comes to all things technology related.I'm looking at mobile broadband packages and see that there is data caps.Are these caps just for actual physical downloads?As in if I download a song or a film onto my laptop or is this for sum total of data that I view online ie Youtube etc?Furthermore is 60gb of data a lot for someone who plays maybe 9/10 tables of poker online?:confused:

    It'll be overall data usage. So Downloads / Streaming / Browsing / Gaming / Uploads.

    Anything that comes through your internet connection would come out of your monthly allowance. 60GB would be fine for a moderate internet user - it would be a bit low if you're fond of downloading films and TV programs though. Normal internet browsing uses hardly any data so I wouldnt worry about that.

    Poker uses very little, you are not streaming all the graphics like a video, just recieving data that is changed to graphics by your computer.
