A simple google search for "data usage monitor" reveals:

I was looking at that myself RED, I'd be interested in your opinions.
The coverage here for T-Mobile is not good (their 3G map doesn't cover my house) so what happens when there is no 3G? Does it revert to GPRS? How stable is that for poker?

Yes, it reverts to GPRS. GPRS is fine for poker/browsing, but if you're in an in-between area, it will keep switching and it disconnects to do it.
In those circumstances, it's better to set it to GPRS only.

Thanks red. This would suit me greatly at the moment. The only thing thats putting me off is the slow speed at home due to no coverage. Vodafone seems to be three times the price for an inferior (smaller cap) product. But flip side of the coin is that vodafone covers this area.

I use
http://readerror.gmxhome.de/
to monitor my download speeds and total bandwidth used.
On my home pc I use a jazzed up version of it that's a bit nicer, but I can't remember what it is - I'll look later and edit this post

I use Vodafone and have never been near those limits - I do all downloading at work though. For poker playing and occaisional Blode browsing they're pretty good.
