    Any and all traffic flowing inward from the internet uses your download limit.

    Sounds like you have neighbours using your wireless. Whats the protection settings on it?

    If you played online 24x7 for a month, it would use around 10GB data.

    And the mentioned trailers and demos are going to take a couple of gigs worth as well, depending on number and video definition.

    WEP can be hacked by a 5yr old in 5 seconds. Change it to WPA immediately with random generated password key.

    A program by a guy here was written to hack Eircom router in 2 seconds giving full access to router.
    You should have gotten letter from Eircom months ago now telling you about this security issue and to change WPA password.

    Personally I noticed a large jump in usage when I got the PS3.

    More than I was expecting to be honest.

    The last demo I downloaded took up half a gig iirc (Tiger Woods) so if you're downloading a load of them, along with trailers etc of course it's going to burn through your download limit.
