Just been looking at my 3 account online as my new month starts today and its saying I have 17,107mb left but what is that in GB?
17,107 MB but in what is that in 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?

That's the norm, not just 3. Follow this pattern up to 1024.
2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64..........

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

Are you not on all you can eat data? Surely that wouldn't make a difference?

What the heck does a milli-bit mean?

Whilst Base 2 notation might not be officially recognised by standards institutes for those measurements, it has become the de facto standard amongst telecoms companies because data usage is measures in terms of transmitted bits per second.
