Broadband Usage

[Jonestheroad]

JUST SIGNED UP FOR BT BROADBAND 10Gb PACKAGE - JUST FOR ON-LINE SHOPPING, E-MAIL, SOME ON-LINE GAMING - LIGHT USAGE. JUST HAD WARNING THAT MY MONTHLY ALLOWANCE NEARLY UP AFTER 10 DAYS. SURELY CAN'T BE RIGHT? (Sorry bout capitals - had caps lock on accidentally)

Last time I bothered firing up lap-top, I paid £3/4 for days use. Half hour radio show + half hour TV programme later it went off. "You have used avilable data". At least Dick Turpin wore a mask.
How much did you pay for month?
My phone's £5 pm unlimited usage. Might be ok for your purposes.

It could be the 'on-line gaming' which is pushing-up your monthly user allowance. I only have 10GB and, with considerable surfing activities and daily very active in AB, never get anywhere near my monthly allowance.

Nevertheless, it might be worth having a word with BT, whom I have always found very helpful.

Yeah, that sounds right. Had same issue here in Ireland. Really big shoot up m bills for excess usage after started to use an iPad. So upped to unlimited/domestic. Shop around for that.....

I too use my pc for many hours a day, every day - and I do online gaming. I use around 5gb a month, sometimes 6gb.
