No is the answear to your question. Students like to download all the bandwith hungry things like music,video etc Oh and don't forget online games like World of Warcraft etc. Multiply that by 5 and the allowence will disappear very quickly.

I'd advise that an unlimited bandwith account is used. They don't tend to cost that much more these days anyway, and with 5 of you to split the £20-25 cost of such ADSL or cable connections means the cost is £5/month each ie 2 pints of beer and cheaper than a pocket of condoms!

Also get a proper ADSL/CABLE broadband router and NOT a USB jobbie, as as it will make it much easier to share the connection throughout the house. Also forget wireless as the main way of connecting as that will be the path to tears before bedtime.
