    The link backs up my findings, 3.5Gigs at peak times. Don't know how you manage 10.5 unless you are adding the daytime value too!

    my 10gb was over a 24hr day, but wasnt the highest i've downloaded on a single day > 24gb yep managed that in 1 day. not my average, just a one off. according to the program i got installed monitoring the amounts. I can upload a report if anyone is really interested.
    from 00:00am to 11:59pm
    but as i also said that was on a high day, some days, usually i only get in the area of 1gb, that also includes uploads aswell.

    Thanks for the link custardly. nice knowning.

    Here is a monthly report since i had the program installed for all those nosey people.

    TBH looking at the lower bands you could probably go over the limits with a good dose of iplayer

    Ive found Virgins capping to be inconsistant. So their policy certainly isnt the be all and end all (At least not where I live)
    :idea:
