I find most months it's probably overkill for me. I check mail, facebook, watch the odd youtube video, check stocks, etc. all online. When I'm at home it automatically detects my routers wireless network and uses that, when I'm on the go of course I'm on Telus' network. The reason I keep the 1 gig service is because we're out in the country and our internet connection here is ok when it's working but is quite unreliable. The "internet tether" feature on the iphone is priceless to me when our domestic internet is crapping out again.

I'd recommend starting with the lowest plan you can... they are always happy to bump you up if needed but tend to argue if you're downgrading your plan. My 3GS has a feature to monitor usage so I know when I've gotta slow down.

Don't you get a ridiculous charge when you are out of country and using internet tethering?
