3) These bandwidths will be eaten away by spam mails
4) These bandwidths will be eaten away at by extended forwards and foward attachments
5) These bandwidths will be eaten away at by online surveys
These are effectively out of the average users control and will effect their bandwidth usage. So say the odd user on the 300K service (much like me  ) Uses the net for 6 hours a day, uses e-bay to buy and sell and sends alot of e-mails.
Then general shopping and surfing, based on this I have estimated I will be 500mb over the monthly band width.
Am I correct in my guesstimates and are the problems as I evisage? 
Thanks people.  |
1. Get a pop-up blocker and ad stopper
2. Use a mailwasher type app to check your mail BEFORE you download it
3. Use anti-spam filters to check your mail BEFORE you download it
4. Don't forward any mail, let the originator decide who to send it to.
5. Stay away from sites that do surveys
