Let me explain if you have no idea what I'm talking about
Most providers in the Netherlands have a FUP of 10 times the ''average'' use.
Personally I find it hard NOT to stream at least a GB or two. But that's maybe because of streaming radio and TV.

I used my 5gb data plan quite extensively with being online all day long at work (we are not allowed to use the company's wifi for our mobile phones) and right now I am sitting at 481mb for 3 weeks.
with extensively I mean: downloaded a few vids with +50mb, had skype/msn available for most of the time, did extensive website browsing just to test everything out.
If I subtract the videos I've downloaded I am sitting at a nice 249mb down and 17mb upstream.
I guess you'll do just fine with 500mb as this is my first month with my new toy, so I'd say the data usage will drop a little after a while

A very rough calculation, is about 4 MB per website (some website use a lot of flash could be problem), that goes to less than 180 website surf in a month, without dl, maps, streaming. Again, a very rough calculation. I would greatly appreciate if you would shed some details about your use in a average day? Even a rough estimate would help.
If it is your privacy and do not want to answer, I can understand that. I am also shopping for a monthly cap per month internet use. TIA,
Edit: I could be totally off, reading rapante's post above me, he is 'all day use' with streaming and dl is only 481MB in 3 weeks. May be visiting the same web site/cache kicks in, so it is not a straight addition business?

I used to get through about ten or 20 meg a month on my P990, web browsing, and a little bit of email, so expect the 500 gig allowance to last well, esp. as I switch to wifi at home.

In one month, I've used 10 MB on EDGE, upload and download combined.
As you might guess, I'm almost always on WiFi.

... *having a major flip out* ... um, I've had my phone a week ... and I've used 468.2MB of my 500MB fair usage from this month ... I'm rarely able to connect to a wifi network (have a Vodafone 3GB dongle for my computer) and am pretty much tied to 3G ... how on earth can they possibly think that 500MB is enough for "unlimited" fair usage in a month ... I'd be happy with a big reduction in my free minutes, but vodafone only have one dataplan so I'm stuck with their idea of fair usage, not my idea of what I need ...
but I don't need to have an idea, I have a flatrate.
