    That's about right for a family. I am one person and use 30GB per month watching plenty of movies, downloading and general browsing. To be seen to be using too much I think it's more than 150GB per month (can't remember exact figure) so 63GB is fine.
    :footie:
    :p Regular savers earn 6% interest (HSBC, First Direct, M&S) :p Loans cost 2.9% per year (Nationwide) = FREE money. :p
  • If it is for family of two or three people then 63 GB is fine but for one person its two much. You will need an eye doctor soon if you are consuming it alone. lol…

    wish I knew what my useage is? is there a easy way to find out? I've just moved to EE but when with Virgin as I was on unlimited they couldn't tell me as they never kept track of it they said.

    Amateurs :) I can do these figures in a week :)

    And no, None of it is naughty adult video's.

    But the kids will stream a video then show it to everyone else later, Instead of saving it they stream it again.

    Fairly new films popping up on youtube doesnt help. They seem to have a habit of being able to sniff these out.

    Depends which Infinity tariff you are on. The most expensive is unlimited. The less expensive has a 40GB cap (which is fairly absurd).
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
