I'm not trying to push my luck but I want to d/l an ISO of a Linux installation package which at 700Mb will take me over my limit for this month and not leave me any usage for the rest of the month.
Currently I'm at 2.4Gigs since 1st August. I use Netmeter which has cumulative figures for daily, weekly & monthly usage in u/l & d/l streams plus a settable usage alarm figure.

Am I worrying too much about this ?
Should I just go for it to see what happens ?

BTW
3Gb per month is roughly 100Mb per day which is fine for a light user but once you have 2 computers plus use them a lot for video conferencing it soon gets chomped away at !
The caps aren't rigourously enforced at the moment so you will have no problem downloading your Linux ISO and continuing to use your connection for the remainder of the month. It won't be too long before they do start to enforce the caps though.
