Broadband usage 10GB

[lukey121]

I am signing up with BT Braodband. It has a 10GB usage limit. Does just looking at pages like: BBC news, or sending an email count towards this? or is just when I actually download something like a song or a movie?

general web surfing and emails count too

lukey121 like Jumbuck has said, everything counts. If you're just using the internet for surfing and emailing then 10GB is ample. I have 20GB limit and by the 4th of the month I'd already used 18GB, but then again I don't just surf the net :)

ok thanks guys. 18GB in 4 days, wow, what else do you do.
I also play poker online so guess that would use alot.
Dont know why its still limited, States and Canada its not at all

[dizmouk2009]

I'm not able to say what I do, for legal reasons. Even with poker you're not going to use 10GB worth..

ok thanks. Can you give me a hint of what you do? I'm very intersted what would use 18gb in 4 days? must be downloading movies?just a little hint, please.

[dizmouk2009]

Someone who is not me might be downloading files of large size, it could be movies.

Highest I ever hit was 46Gb in one month lol, but you will probably never get over 2-5Gb if you are surfing web only.
