BT Broadband Fair Use Policy

Hi,

Is a 100GB a month enough for streaming movies, Browsing and Gaming online? Is there anything out there that would count it all up for me and let me know what i would use in a month?

Thanks.

    The only thing you can do is use it for a month and see for yourself, you would be surprised how quickly you can burn through download allowance if you do actually download things lol, I had a bit of a boring January so downloaded all 6 seasons of The Sopranos to watch whilst doing other things such as normal surfing email a bit of tv streaming etc etc, I stemed through 90gig that month I dont have unlimited mine is capped at 40gig so get an extra 50 quid added to my bill for that month ouch :(

  • It isn't as much as you think if you use a lot of online gaming sites etc. My son plays a well known online game a lot and watches movies etc and we are often getting our broadband restricted for going over the usage :(

    300 GB is plenty unless you're on the computer all day every day :)
