Let's see... Stream rate (in kilobit/sec) is x - it uses x kilobits/sec -> per minute, you get 60 * x kilobits -> per hour, you get 60 * 60 * x kilobits, or 60 * 60 * x / 8 kilobytes
I presume your limit is 2 gigabytes (not bits), which is 2 * 1024 megabytes, which is 2 * 1024 * 1024 kilobytes, or 2,097,152 kilobytes. Or in other words, number of hours of a stream with x kilobit/sec that fit into your limit: 2,097,152 / (60 * 60 * x / 8) So, using a 128 kbit/sec stream (x = 128), you would use 57,600 kbytes per hour. Your 2GB limit would be used up in a little over 36 hours. So, using a 192 kbit/sec stream (x = 192), you would use 86,400 kbytes per hour. The same 2GB limit would last you just about 24 hours. This is not taking into account "fudge factors" such as metadata (stream name for example, SqueezeNetwork traffic), MP3 headers, or use of 1000 vs 1024 for "kilo" by your ISP, but those should not make a drastic overhead.
