Question about BT limits and fair usage.

[radar19]

I'm a bit confused at BTs fair usage and download limit policy. Now I'm staying at my uncles house and he has BT broadband. He says he has the umlimited package but he's recivied 2 letters from BT about downloading too much. Thing is, both him and his wife only do light web browsing ands play Second life.

This has lead me to believe that they have fallen foul of the fair usage policy, which is odd as they use the Internet a lot less than I do when I'm back home.

While I'm here I've downloaded about 16gb worth of data from steam plus more from streaming podcasts and videos, but I'm made sure to do this outside of peak times. Now I'm worried that he'll get another letter from BT but they should be on the unlimited package. I've not noticed any throttling or speed drops.

BTRetail, BTOpenreach, BTWholesale.

All terrible companies.

Check you Uncles Router make sure it's secured wirelessly

Yep, its secured. I'm currently pulling 430KB/s downstream from Steam which is normal for here. But we have the same package at home and me, my mum and sister hammer the internet yet we havent been throttled or had any letters. I'm worried that I'm going to run up a massive bill or something.
