i dont think they are enforcing it for a few more months. but there are programs like DU meter that tell you how much youve downloaded and uploaded. i just need them to upgrade me to my 3mb connection now

they're upgrading there speeds over the next 2 months, or if you have a CM then you can do it over their website. 300k to 1mb, 700k to 2mb and 1.5mb to 3mb. with a 3GB a month cap on the new 1mb and 1GB a day for the rest of the services. but they arent enforcing the caps until everyones upgraded. so thats when all the software should be available

I very much doubt you'll use up 30gb, My tiscali adsl is 30gb, And i do a lot of game designing, web browsing and online gaming, and it's on 24/7 so i've never got near to using it all.

You'll have to be downloading 24/7 to reach 30gb
