To give you an insight on how much data usage a mobile broadband user can have, I hereby give you access to my data usage statistics. This can be useful for you if you consider buying mobile broadband, but don't really have a feel for how much the limits the carriers might have will mean for you.

Get smart on the different kinds of internet media and the amount of data transfer they’ll require (nice to know if you’re on a mobile broadband plan with a fixed upper limit).

About my usage pattern
* I only use mobile broadband at home. I have no land based broadband.
* I have a girlfriend abroad (the best!), and therefore I have several web cam conversations via Skype every month.
* I have a an online backup solution at Mozy, whereto I backup many files including pictures.
* I listen to online radio via my mobile broadband.
* Basically I'm a techy kind of guy, and i'm online quite a lot, however with no requirement of having home servers being online 24h around the clock.
* I do not download torrents and similar stuff (which means that I don't have such data need).
* I work from home via GoToMyPC, which means data traffic to transfer the image from the office computer to my computer.
