That's the bugbear, I don't download much either, mainly program, and Windows Updates and such like, but you never know how you usage will change.
If it was 30gb per month, then it wouldn't matter if you used a few gigs in one day, so long as you balanced it out over the month. If it's 1gb per day, then it's going back to the old days of the 2 hour cut-off on dial-up, having to hope your update completes before the 2 hour cut-off appears. Only this time it will be hoping you have enough of your daily allowance left to do any updates / download you need to do.
Same scenario, just modernized for today.
I've been monitoring my use for 28days now, and it's looking like the month will be around 2gb use. But when we get the speed increase we'll probably be online gaming more (2 PCs), so gb used will increase. It would be better if you could play more some days, and less on others if you chose too, so long as your total use is within the limit. It's a bit short-sighted when they advertise broadband for gaming, streaming video, radio, video conferencing etc, then limit your use.
