O2 wireless internet datacard help :(

Hi all, I bought myself an aircard 850 from o2 on saturday. I got the 1 gB deal for £45 a month. Most people I know have data cards and struggle to use 1gB when downloading songs etc. I've been doing simple browsing etc and found that my usage (sent and received data), has occasionly been rattling up. For example, last night, I was browsing for an hour and had 2.5 MB sent and 3 MB received! All of a sudden, my data jumped up to 13 MB sent and 15 MB received! I have all automatic updates disabled on my computer and my virus checker uses a minimum. Could anyone shed any light on this situation! I have noticed that my data usage jumps quite high when I go from 3G to GPRS!

Please help, at this rate I am going to have used 1 GB in just a few days! Is this a mistake! As much explaining as can be done would be great. The 1 GB I pay for is classed as unlimited usage!

Cheers all
