your broadband provider should be able to tell you

just remember the 1gb "acceptable usage" policy on tmobile.
I use that much on my phones already and last time I checked our houshold broadband consumed something in the order of 20-25gb/month!
As you need to have web and walk plus to use the internet on your computer with T-Mobile you actually get a 3GB fair usage which is about what I use at home.

I have the "plus" (which costs an extra £2.50 if I remember correctly) but understood that simply meant the standard rule of using it on a computer was relaxed... I didn't realise there was also an increased limit, unless perhaps that changed since I joined.
anyway, that certainly makes it an even better deal than I thought!

Heres the diffrence:
Web and walk: extra £7.50 over normal tariff. Only for data on phone and is limited to 1GB
Web and Walk Plus: Extra £12.50 over normal tariff. Can be used for data on phone or through phone to computer but cant use VOIP and is limited to 3GB.
Web and Walk Max: Extra £22.50 over normal tariff. Can be used on phone and computer and VOIP and is limited to 10GB.

@masseur
Have you ever exceeded your acceptable usage policy? I'm now sure I know of anyone who has been restricted by it.

I've never received any kind of warning, so I guess not

T-Mobiles for W&W max are quite vague:
To ensure a high quality of service for all our customers, a fair use policy of 10GB (of data sent and received in the UK) a month applies.
If you exceed 10GB per month, we may tell you to reduce your future use. If you again exceed 10GB per month, we may tell you that we are going to apply network protection controls, resulting in a reduced network speed for 14 days.
If you exceed 10GB per month for a third time, we may tell you that we are going to apply further network protection controls, resulting in a reduced network speed until you upgrade your price plan to include a larger data allowance.
I mean, upgrade your plan to where?
Has anyone ever fallen foul. I know I exceeded the basic plan by a huge margin and nothing happened.

Successfully ditched the landline in November last year.
I use a Vodem form Vodafone NZ for internet connection to my laptop. 1 GB per month is enough for me atm. A second GB costs very little extra.
A well chosen mobile plan is very cost competitive these days. Landlines really are obselete for voice calls.

it does make more sense.... specially here in the Philippines where fixed line infrastructure was horrible... even in the city, the carriers were so backlogged that it took at least 2 years to get your application processed! We applied for our 2nd fixed line and got it literally 8 years later (not kidding)
Meanwhile, you can get a prepaid mobile kit in 10 min that's got coverage even in most rural and undeveloped areas... and in some cases, even out at sea between regions in the Philippines (we're an archipelago)
