(I don't know how full they fill them). 56K modem gets you 15Mb/hour, in my experience (depends on phone line, of course ;). 3Gb/15Mb = 200 hours. How much is 200 hours of download time? Probably quite a bit - £120 at a penny a minute. It's also over a weeks' worth of continuous downloading. Besides, April's issue has got me in it, I'm told :P Cheers, Alex. PS. If the math is wrong, shoot me ;)
