If you are processing data through your ISP...... you are headed for your "extra charges". Online play requires data transfer.

You do the math. Wink

Blimey.... Shocked

...!

To reach your 30 Gb limit you must be constantly downloading massive Film and Music files every day... Shocked

...!

My ISP has a 30 Gb limit on me, but I nowhere reach that limit, with general Internet Browsing, on-line Sim Flying, and downloading the occasional Flight Sim file!

I don't think I have ever come across anyone reaching the 30 Gb limit before... Grin

...!

Paul... Cool

...!

I don't think there is a way to personally log your Internet usage to estimate how much you are using/have used.
Only your Service Provider has those details...and he will let you know if he is getting annoyed...trust me!... Wink

..!
They will cut you off, after a warning, if you continually exceed the limit...!
