Mobile broadband (1 Viewer)

[Reets]

I have a monthly 7.5GB allowance with O2 that's PAYG. The problem is I'm flying through it, and it can be gone in under a week.
I can stream one show, but it works out at pretty much 1g for a 40 min episode. I've updated my netflix profile so the definition is the lowest listed and according to them, should use a max of .3 but it's made no difference at all.

Does this sound like a lot of data to be going through, or is it average and I'm being a bit thick?

There's no way you should be using Netflix or any other streaming video on mobile broadband, it just eats up data. 1gb for a full TV show is about right. 7.5gb is high for PAYG but you could use that up just browsing/watchng youtubes etc.

It's only a workaround, but I'd advise you to download anything you want to watch over your land line connection.
Even if it takes forever.
If it's on Netflix, you can nick it somewhere.

Ah crap.
I've no land line connection here (or tv), just that mobile hotspot thing.
I should just get a deck of cards.
Thanks

my 3mobile pay as you go has a TB or something. I have yet to go over it. Few other folks with the same on here.
