My usb WiFi dongle has given up the ghost so I thought that I'd start using my FREE 3G dongle from Orange just for checking mail, idle surfing (ie this site) and looked at a 3 min video on YouTube and a song on Spotify.

138 MB in 3 and a bit days!! Gonna blast that 500 MB cap, better get another WiFi dongle.

So I presume that is the difference between the compressed stuff on my HTC Desire vs uncompressed on my Mac.

I use my HTC quite a bit for the internet but with taking care over switching mobile internet off when not needed, I hit around 150 MB in a month.

Can anyone enlighten me, cheers.

I think you answered your own question really, it is just uncompressed!
