As for best option, it depends on what you want to do. Most deals seem to be pro rata (i.e. you pay for the bandwidth you use), so if you can estimate that you won't be using more than say 1Gb a month, then there's no point paying for an "unlimited" contract (although these are a massive misnomer as they are subject to "fair usage" policies, yeah, well how about having a "fair description" policy you twats!).
If I was just browsing forecast sites or using hotmail, for half an hour, how much usage is that?
You should be able to get an idea from your usage stats of you home broadband. On PlusNet I can log on to my account and see hourly/daily/monthly uploads and downloads. It will give you a ball park figure.

Now this bit I am in the dark about. How do you get an idea of how much you "use"? If I was just browsing forecast sites or using hotmail, for half an hour, how much usage is that?
Give NetMeter a shot
