Default Trial wifi usage

Hello,
I'm trying wifi for 14 days, its a usb broad band modem (Franklin u210) and it blows dial up away. Its on a 2GB plan 25.00 a month I hope it covers browsing and email. trying to learn how usage is figured. the dial up is 9.00 bucks with 30.00 mo regular phone service. If I need 5GB its 45.00 a month

I have no idea what you are really asking here but the answer is, yes, 2GB is more than enough for browsing and email, you are good.

Once you go to broadband, you wont go back.
