Paul 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Anyone know what happens if you go over your monthly download limit? I have always been under the impression that I would get a message telling me I had reached my limit.. but I know for a fact that I've went over my limit. Anyone know if they will charge me extra or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazarus 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 it'll be in the terms and conditions. could be a £1 per gig over your allowance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo 133 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Depends on your ISP, some automatically charge you at the next tariff, others impose restrictions, I got a threatening email yesterday from mine saying I had exceeded my peak hours limit (13gig) and would have limits imposed on my connection, I checked my account info and my non peak usage was 76gig for the month.

Besty 4 Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 So basically if I haven't received a restriction message should I be expecting a charge? More than likely. Get blueyonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul 0 Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 So basically if I haven't received a restriction message should I be expecting a charge? More than likely. Get blueyonder. From the Orange/Wanadoo site: Internet use is measured in gigabytes (GB). With Broadband Starter and Broadband Plus you get 2 GB a month. That's loads. Over 90% of all our customers use much less. It's enough for plenty of surfing and downloading. Use our calculator to see you much you need. If you go a bit over 2 GB we won't cut you off or charge you more. You won't hear from us unless you're the kind of person who's active on the Internet every day and constantly downloading. Then we'll ask you to upgrade to Broadband Max or change provider. Still going to be looking at other providers, like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 26645 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I got a letter the other day from BT saying I'd went over my limit in the past couple of months. They say if this continues they'll charge me but last I heard they hadn't got a system in place to do this, anyone know if thats still the case?
