Hi Chris,
I am not sure of the Cricket average monthly usage because I rarely used it (only sporadically when on the road, etc.). I have, however, started experimenting with using the Cricket as my sole internet on 3-3-12 and will continue to monitor the usage for the next 3 weeks. This is the usage data that I have thus far:

3/8/12 Duration: 43207 Bytes Rcvd: 107588883 Bytes Sent: 18148275 Total Bytes: 125737158
The above stats are the snapshot that I have of my usage since beginning my experiment and quite honestly I don't know if this is considered high usage or low usage. I also have a dumb question:
It looks as thought the Duration is measured in seconds. Should I be shutting down the computer when I am not using? Sorry for the stupid question, but I have been so accustomed to having the Roadrunner, which is always connected, and perhaps I should be disconnecting from the Cricket when I am sleeping, lol. I'm not sure if this makes a difference in the data used.
Thank you so much,
Jimmy
