Anyone know what the FUP is for BT Fibre lines? Should be able to move from LLU (14-15Mbps) to fibre of close to 35+Mbps later this month. However, O2 llu obviously has quite a generous FUP policy and so would like to know what the hit here will be.

I'm hoping its not the 100GB they have on their non-fibre lines, since they are trying to compete with Virgin Media.

Okay, apparently it is still at 100gigs. Afterwards you are throttled from 5pm to 12am.

Unlike Virgin Media however, you can't simply time downloads to off-peak periods as they count towards the 100gigs.

A shame really, especially considering that there doesn't seem to be a way of other companies trying to use these lines in an LLU fashion.

Might wanna look at some of the other companies providing it such as AAISP - a bit more expensive but they tend to only count peaktime useage towards your allowance. AAISP is a business orientated ISP so their peaktime is 9am til 6pm if you use it outside those hours it can be very cheap.

Very pricey peak time usage though.

100gigs peak is £170+.

edit: although their peak is a nicer 9am-6pm mon-fri

Even 30GB peak considering that is £60.

Who the hell legally downloads >100GB a month?

Depends on the number of people using the connection surely. A family of 5 would mean that its 20GB per person. That's nothing when you consider 1 hour TV episodes on iplayer are 700mb each and HD streams are even more. What about online gaming platforms? Download one game a month and that could be 10GB gone already.

Don't underestimate how much normal streaming uses either. Use image heavy sites and it racks up very quickly.

Imagine this month if you watched all 3 football games each day. That is a 1500kbps stream for 6 hours which could be multiplied if not watching together.
