Hello,
I just moved to Canada and my landlord took out a 20GB per month internet subscription with Bell. The thing is, I thought limited internet no longer existed; in France, I had an unlimited plan! I'm not quite sure how much time I can spend online with 20GB. I mainly use it for MSN with the webcam and microphone, I've uploaded a few photos online and watched a couple of YouTube videos since the beginning of the month. I downloaded the Stat 'n' perf counter and it already shows 228GB for the month!!!! Since I leave the computer on for 12 hours at a time, I think that might be the reason. Since I don't know much about the internet and I'm starting to panic... if someone could shed some light on the subject for me.
Thank you
Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 7.0

    Hi,

    if what you're saying is true, it's almost impossible 228 GB, you might have misread, isn't it 228 MB instead?

      Yeah, it even just went up to 239 GB!!! There might be something to configure in Stat 'n' perf, but I'm really starting to freak out about my future bill!

        It's certain that it's not very reassuring

        With Bell, you probably have a tool to check your internet usage. Right on their website and in your account.

        What antivirus do you have?

        At worst, register here and communicate with me privately. I can probably help you in another way.

      228GB is impossible if you don't download.
      20GB will be more than enough for your usage, but I still recommend turning off your modem at night.

      Hello,

      my name is Vahid and I wanted to know if 25GB of internet per month would be enough. Most of the time, I watch streaming videos, I am on Facebook, YouTube, and I watch mangas online.
      And I would like to know if 21.6Mbps is a fast internet connection?
