This might help a bit, but as a gamer, not much.
Demons mag this month has a bit on restricted services.

So multiply by 5 for NTL. I would imagine gaming is not much more BW intensive than surfing, so if 1GB allows 4hrs surfing, then 5GB should cover 7hrs gaming.
And thats way to much time in front of a computer, remember take a break every 20 mins, your eyes need to last you a lifetime and they are non transplantable.
