Skype bandwidth usage ?
Usage meter
PC or MAC, doesn't the router have a stats page which shows total download since last reset ? Over a few days you could at least get the average and then extrapolate away. Depending on how clever the router is it may also offer parental control which lets you switch off every hour or so by way of disincentivising.
Also, does sky count all usage or only peak time ?
The things to watch are music and video downloads, especially torrents.

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.

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.
