I recently moved house and there is no connection here so have signed up with Orange mobile broadband. It gives me 3gigs of download for 15£ a month.

I've started to playing alot more poker and was wondering how much information is downloaded while playing poker.... If i play 100 hours in a month am I going to be lumbered with a huge bill?

Im trying to keep downloads of other things to a minimum.

Is there a way i can find out how much I've downloaded?

I already did that. They were no help. The girl was very vague and told me to google "download account" and there would be something there to help me track how much i've downloaded. I couldn't see anything...

No, you should not come anywhere near that. You could 24 table 24/7 and not come anywhere. This has been covered on other forums if you want to search for it. Keeping the lobby closed will also help make sure you don't go over the cap though b/c the lobby is updating constantly it uses more bandwidth. HTH.

The bandwidth associated with online poker can be regarded as essentially nil.
