I on average hit 15GB as I don't get capped for a week. One time it went for 2 weeks (got to the end of the month)! One of my months I actually uploaded 7GB (on my 6GB plan), downloaded near 90GB :thumbs: Check if your plan caps to 64kb. If it does then you have nothing to worry about get as much as you can before it disconnects :D	trinsic (6945)
