Never had a problem with limits before but have bought new PC must admit been watching bbc i player a few times (6 hours a week), itunes (3/4 albums a month), xbox live (all weekend and moocamp all the time).

So just a question for anyone be kind enough to answer.
Upgrading to option 3 (unlimited £25) but unsure about the fair use small print..
Can you help me?

    I was on BT Option 3 for about 18 months, broadband is shared between 3 users and we were all constantly downloading stuff, must have easily been hitting 50gb/month and never heard anything from BT about it.

    If I remember correctly, option 3 used to be capped but they removed this about 12 months ago and I think you'd be no where near their AUP if your usage is as above.
