you can use the istat pro widget and the only thing you have to watch is that you just put your mac to sleep when turning off

Click to expand...

This is true but, its a 3G usb modem and it has a 1 gig download limit.

On the monthly bill, it shows how much you have used... so they are checking it...

I just dont want to exceed the limit and get charged..

I just read about SurplusMeter on lifehacker, it might be what you need?
