Not Ranked
Boxhead, your downloads will vary between about 5Mb (megabytes) for a single song and almost 1000 times that size (4300Mb) for a full DVD. Most movies however are compressed to play on your PC and weigh in at around 700Mb.
Broadband deals normally talk in terms of Gb (gigabytes, or 1000Mb). Your best bet is to choose a provider that lets you change plans (usually for a nominal fee), that way you can start off on a cheap plan and if you need more download 'quota', change to a higher plan next month. Make sure you ask them what happens when you go over the quota in a given month - most providers just slow you down to dialup speed until the end of the month but others charge you a bucket load for the excess. This is typical of mobile broadband providers at the moment. People are getting whacked with $1000 bills!!
Good luck with your choice.
