So we have hardly any internet usage left and I was wondering how much internet usage it takes to upload pics? I really want to keep uploading pics to my petz journal, but I don't want to use up all the internet...
Thanks in advance!

It all depends on the size of the photo. For Petz photos, (using he in-game camera) they are pretty small so they won't take up much of your data, however if you're close to your limit, you might want to ease off a bit until you roll-over.
I used to go over my limit all the time (Netflix, online gaming, downloading PS3 games etc.) so I upgraded my internet package. It's fairly cheap to upgrade your usage here in Canada. (The net is already so expensive, a few more bucks a month isn't too bad LOL) Maybe you should look into adding on an extra few GB?

Thanks for your answer! I think we start with about 25 GB a month, but somehow we used up that much in like 2 and a half weeks! We use heaps of internet here... xD So the amount used depends on the size? Does that mean what the size is that's how much will be used? Or something else?

Yes and no. So for example, say you want to upload a photo that is 1MB in size; that 1MB will be used up from your usage, as well as the web pages you open. Although minuscule, loading each page of a website does use up your bandwidth.
If you used up 25GB in just over 2 weeks, you should see about doubling your usage to be safe. Often times, the fee for going over your limit by just a few GB will more than cover the amount to add more bandwidth.
I went 5GB over my limit a number of months back and it cost me something like $50 on top of my bill. I ended up doubling my internet package and it only now costs me an additional $15 a month. I now have 160GB limit per month and that more than covers all the downloading/uploading/browsing/streaming I do. =]

Thanks for answering! Unfortunately i'm still living with my parents and i can't decide how much internet we have... I haven't told you this yet, but I have 6 younger sibling 2 others that use the computer and the internet and 2 more that are still learning, we also have 4 computers... Mine, the family one, my little brothers one and my dads laptop, we all use internet on them... I'm not 100% sure if my little bros computer is connected to internet yet or not though... Oh yeah, me and my sis also have our own ipods and my dad has an iphone... We download things of them to! xD So yeah, that's why we use so much internet.

Haha you have quite a big family! No wonder the usage went up so quickly.
You might want to try discussing upping the usage with your parents. They might not even realize they could actually save money each month by buying a bigger package vs. going over the limit.
