BT Monthly Usage Limits

CircleFaust · 24 Jan 2011 at 12:57

hi

i've almost resigned myself to getting BT broadband (my exchange is not LLU

and everything else is access packages and just hassle (i need a new line too

)

i'll probably go for the 10gb package (even though you can get unlimited deals for less than BTs 10gb usage :mad:

)

has anyone been caught out going over, are they very strict if you go a gig or two past?

i'd be really reluctant to pay near £20 for the 40gb usage

thanks

Considered IDNet?

You are charged as soon as you go over, £5 per 5gb over the limit so if you go over by 1gb you are charged £5 etc.

I also read somewhere that if you download a file that is say 9.2Mb it will get rouded up to 10Mb, so before you know it you will hit your cap, even though you think you've used 8GB all the rounding up will add up quick, my advice, avoid BT like the plague, I should know I am with BT, and am not happy and am getting out of my contract

You are emailed at 75% usage and again at 90% and can monitor it daily using bt.com if you want too.

This, although 10GB usage you might as well tether your phone permanently in place of a landline!
