    nope the bb connection wont charge any extra as long as you dont constantly break the acceptable usage limit.

    I used to have a 20GB limit and would use 160-200GB:eek: a month I decide to leave BT when they asked me to pay £1 per GB when they decided to start chargeing feb 2006 they wanted £120:eek: for december off me they were happy to waive the £190:eek: for November as they hadnt provided any method of monitoring the bandwidth I used I am now with BT business they as less strict on the usage limit. but you should have nothing to worry about.

    I think I might have just answered a question to him elsewhere, but to be honest you can probably play as much as you want - online gaming really doesn't use up that much bandwidth.

    It's downloads (music, movies etc.) which really eat into it.
