    What is a megabyte, web browsing by the megabye
    Hello,

    First of all I didn't know which category to post this in but since its kind of about the internet I chose this category.
    I am interested in buying this simcard with o2 which a pay & go simcard for using the internet on my blackberry. It says it will charge me £2.70 per megabyte. So if I am just browsing on for example this site but not downloading anything how many megabytes would I use? I'm really confused.
    Is £2.70 a good deal?

    Thank you in advance,

    Jack

    When browsing the WEB, for the device you are using to render the page in your browser then it has to download that page. Now a typical WEb page might be only a couple of kilobytes. I know on my phone, when I use the Internet, I can view several pages for basically pennies. So the price doesn't seem exorbidant.
