You can leave it on indefinitely. I use about 0.5Gb a month always
connected. I read as many web pages as I like and update any software I have
over the internet. I occassionally view video from news websites etc.
There are two main things that you need to do to get above the 1Gb barrier
per month.
1. Frequent binary downloads/file sharing.
2. Be so insecure that every man and his dog are using your computer to spam
child pornography across the Internet or launching DOS attacks.
