quick Q about caps

    BB products in Ireland all seem to have a 3 or 4 gig monthly cap. I was just wondering if I might hit that limit just by surfing around and playing online games but not downloading many big files. I plan to use BB for ps2 gaming a lot - would the constant stream of data coming for maybe a few hours a day be a problem?

    I'm really worried about the Eircom cap :\ I can thing of plenty of legal downloads that could easily push me over the cap in no time.

    I'm sure if it was just ps2 gaming, then you'd be fine.

    I would guess things such as game demos or maybe that half life 2 trailer (600megs) halo 2 trailer is 160 megs, rtcw enemy territory 250ish megs, 20 days of moderate half life gaming 1 gig ish, thats 2 gigs total anyway
