Occasional (54 Mbps**) 	1,000 			0.014 		10 	120 	0
I'm trying to do the maths around this ... as far as I can see, if you take the £10 a month service, then use twice your quota in one month, you will actually pay £24 for 2gb of data.

Now £24 for 54mb service is stunning value compared to £25 for 600kb which I get from ntl. The problem is, I have no idea how many megabytes I upload/download a month. Anyone got any ideas how to work this out? It sounds like a great offer but the devil's in the detail - I suspect it could get quite expensive.

EDIT - Of course, £18 per month for 16gb is potentially far better value, but I'm still blind because I still don't know how many gb a month I actually use with my current service...
