It depends whether you're counting decimal or binary but, either way, it's ~17GB.

Three measure 1 GB as 1024 MB, so 17,107 MB is 16.7 GB.

Many thanks guys.
Do you know if it gets rolled over to the next month if you don't use it all the month before? |

No, it does not get rolled over unfortunately. I miss the days of roll-over minutes.

That's the norm, not just 3. Follow this pattern up to 1024.
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64.......... No standards institutes actually regard base 2 notation as being correct for KB / MB / GB measurements, so in the strictest sense 1 GB is 1 billion bytes. KiB, MiB and GiB are the correct notations for the base 2 measurements. |

Well, it depends on how pedantic you want to be.
