as far as I know, online gaming uses a fair bit, I'd def go for an unlimited package if he plays it a lot. Regardless of which company you get it from. Also look at fair usage policies whne deciding. most providers have websites so really scrutinise the small print. I'm not allowed to denigrade other companies so can't name names but some are shocking and will not let you leave by leaving markers or tags on your line and it can be a real problem getting these removed. Read carefully and ask loads of questions before you agree to anything with broadband. If you call then write down what they told you and who you are speaking to. Also time and date of your call helps if any future arguements arise. I deal with customer complaints around this every day so I strongly advise you go through things thoroughly.
