[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1226240, member: 110816"] Those calculators can be very wrong unless they specifically ask you to provide the web pages you frequent and they go off and do some calculations on how much data is being transferred each time you visit that page.. Each website loads whole bunch of stuff apart from the HTML page (images, videos, music, and so on) and each of those things go against your cap. To get an idea of how much Ethernet traffic is happening on your Mac you can open up the Terminal and type "ifconfig en0" and look for "RX bytes" and "TX bytes". Save the current numbers somewhere and then go about your web browsing, video watching, email sending and whatever else you do, then go back and check those numbers out and that gives you a rough idea of how much data was passed back and forth between your Mac and various websites..
