Welcome to the forums and broadband
You can see your usage in the member centre.
http://www.mybroadbandspeed.com will show you your speeds
and you can also use something like this http://www.thinkbroadband.com/tbbmeter.html for realtime monitoring

and for windows an on screen display Netmeter http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/NetMeter-Download-23932.html its free
a frequently asked question, your allowance is the total of up and download traffic
