I would reckon its about 5-16kb/s its using for speech max.

Which translates to 57MB per hour.

Which gives you 350 hours a month on your 20gig quota. Or 11hours a day.

Video is through the roof though at 30-70kb/s which is approx 80 hours per month on your quota or 2.6 hours a day.
My calculator tells me that 16 kb/s is 2 kB/s or 7.2 MB per hour. Which I compute to be 5.2 GB per month at 24 hours use per day.

Likewise, 70 kb/s would be 8.75 kB/s or 31.5 MB per hour. Which I compute to be 22.7 GB per month at 24 hours use per day.

Am I still confusing bits and bytes (octets)? Shirley an ISP doesn't limit one to 20 gigabits (2.5 gigabytes) per month.

Netflix at 3 Mb/s would appear to use 1.35 gigabytes per hour.
