The only one that is questionable in legality is the downloading of TV series not yet available in the UK from Usenet. All of the above LEGALLY eat bandwidth.

And you do all that everyday??

Most days. The internet is the main relaxation medium for both myself and my sons. Even my partner is spending more and more time online due to the crap thats being broadcast on the TV (how many repeats can you watch!).

Unfortunately I know what my usage is (and I know that I am outside NTL's current guidelines before anyone screams such
). I use a Linux firewall/router with full traffic graphing and thats showing a monthly average for the last three months of ~70GB per month.
