I cannot say for fact that i know how much data your F3 uses per day or per month for that matter. You may need to investigate, by asking yourself these questions, is this the first time you will go over your limit? what was your usage before the F3 was introduced? Do you do other data intensive internet activities like streaming video, video chatting, downloading etc?

Also switching your F3 off or putting it on an FTA channel when you are not watching will help reduce data usage.

A member on here Jimihendrixs did an internet usage test on receiver and it was as follows
I have run the usage test.
This weeks total usage reading is 28MB (0.028GB) so it would take 250 days to use 1GB or put another way approximately 1.5GB a year.
Again this setup was used for around 15 hours a day for the 7 days so represents fairly heavy usage.
For members on a limited internet allowance the actual monthly usage would amount to around 0.12GB a month note this is just 12% of a 1GB/monthly allowance.
