Broadband Question
Anyone on Wanadoo BB @ £17.99/month?
I think its about time I upgraded to BB but do not want to pay a high monthly rate. I mainly use it for downloading music and noticed that there is a 2gb limit.
Anyone know roughly how many songs or albums you can get for 2gb?
Appreciate any help / advise.
Cheers.

Depends on the quality of the MP3. Vary from about 1-2Mb for <128Kbs. I think a song at 192k quality is around 4Mb, but that would depend on the length of the track. So, I would say 20Mb for an average album and 40Mb if ripped at a higher quality.
Don't have any MP3's at hand to check though.

Is that 2gb per day or per month??
If it's per month,I'd say to look elsewhere as there are better offers to be had without restrictions!!
I get 1 nearly full DVD each week from a friend at work containing MP3's with all the latest releases and they are done at 128kbps
You are looking at roughly 3-4mb per average song at that level of encoding so I'd say you'd be looking at say between 500-700 songs
Good luck

Have a look at www.adslguide.org for comparisons between the different ISP's (DSL modems are pretty cheap to buy anyway so don't let a 'free' modem be the primary choice for signing up with an ISP)
Good luck

Cheers for the advise so far.
There are so many different suppliers / options it makes it very difficult to decide what to go for seeing as most of them once signed, you are committed for 12 months.

According to the Register (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2004/08/24/wanadoo_adsl/), Wanadoo aren't going to impose the bandwidth cap this year.
