Does playing poker online on Bebo/ Facebook etc count towards your download allowance? I obviously haven't a clue!! So please don't be too harsh on me! :)

It does. But it doesn't take up a huge amount of it. It's only small amounts of data being transferred - the images are all processed locally on your PC.

Yeah it does, same as watching videos or downloading files...just less. Its not really a download limit, its really a usage limit which includes uploads too

how would you go about finding how much data you have downloaded browsing the internet over a period of time - say one month?
