Close To My Broadband Usage Limit

[smurfchops]

Just had an email from BT, thought it was a scam. Never had this before and didn't realise I had a limit. Could it be because I now have an ipad as well as my laptop? My laptop is always switched off when not in use but the ipad isn't, I just put the cover over and it switches off, or possibly is on standby. Should I switch off the ipad properly, would this make any difference ?

The iPad isn't the cause then

The ipad is so quick and easy though, I probably use it more than I did when I just used the laptop.

I've had these emails before from BT when I'd only used 3gb of a 10gb limit, it's just a small scam to try and catch the unwary IMO!

I have one desktop that is always on, two smartphones always connected to the wifi as is my tablet and netbook.

Oh. A smart tv is connected, too. Never come close to me limit, as far as I am aware.

If It happens at the end of this month I will ring them but how would I know how much I have used? I will just have to take their word for it
