Would be good to have an FF plugin or even just a webpage (under SSL) that you can send your username/password to and it gives you your currently usage (or even the data you have left).

This Python script will do it;

[code]
#!/usr/bin/python

import re
import urllib

USERNAME='you@snap.net.nz'
PASSWORD='your_password_here'

data = urllib.urlencode({
    'username': USERNAME,
    'password': PASSWORD,
})

page = urllib.urlopen('https://www.snap.net.nz/', data).read()

m = re.compile('you have used (\d{1,3}\.\d) GB out of (\d{1,3}\.\d) GB.').search(page)

if m:
    print 'You have used %s out of %s (%s remaining).' % (m.group(1), m.group(2), float(m.group(2)) - float(m.group(1)))

[/code]
