  • If you buy a blue and a green milk in As does it count as 1 or 2 for fillers?

    That's very high usage.

    You might want to have a read of this thread.

    From what I read it looks like BT sometimes mistakenly include the usage of passers-by who use fon from your wifi, on your bill (they say they don't but after reading these stories I'm not so sure). The cynic in me might say it's a ruse to scare people into changing to unlimited.

    :) No worry Mrs B

    I know who the culprit is :mad:
    Fourp & his 3 Samsung Galaxy tabs that he has downloaded a trillion films on to each one without my knowledge until he boosted last night of his 'libraries'
    :eek::eek::eek: I immediately go onto a tail spin & get into our Broadband usage & see the damage :(:(:( it was 88GB last night.

    His defence was he thought we had unlimited :wall:

    We normally only use about 11GB a month & 40GB was grand :)

    Morning all :)
    Night shift been kidnapped by aliens or something?!
    We're off out for a family dinner today. Very unMSE but DH told me to stop whining :rotfl:
    We very rarely go out so apparently a one off won't break the bank ( :mad: there's 8 of us, it ain't gonna be cheap! )

    :( Rant & pity me alert :o

    Unfortunately I have discovered, due to 'someone' downloading a trillion films onto their 3 Galaxy tabs we have exceeded our 40GB Broadband usage by another 48GB :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
    & counting as yesterday has still to go on.

    At £5.30 + VAT for every 5GB over the 40GB :(:(:(

    So I'm on very limited internet so if I'm not about please can QUIZ be posted?

    Until 1st March I must treat internet as an emergency not a leave on all day :(

    :(:(:(:(:(

    so so very cheesed off - apologies

    :mad::mad::mad::(. It seems early doors this morning is about what to avoid happening - and how not to save money so do not copy.:( With my £10+ loss:( - to be fair, many 'normal' shoppers probably lose more than that on every shop and my loss pales compared to this. Assuming there's about another 5GB used from yesterday, I've made that nearly £70:eek::eek::eek: at that rate

    I had to go unlimited due to my kids :eek:

    :mad::mad:And it's always other people that thwart our best efforts - rapidly concluding that, for the most part, doing things on my own and being in solitude is the best choice I could ever make. I don't like other people.:) Actually I make attempts (successful or otherwise) to involve myself with others and do care (sometimes too much) about people, but I've decided, largely they are too much trouble and cause us such bother and just leave us having to sort out their mess-ups.:( (And I'm not really directing that comment towards kids - it's other adults that are the main problem for me, or at any rate cause me more problems. (I seem to be forever sorting theirs out - so that they don't have to worry. And they don't really care anyway, so I think it's time no.1 won out.:cool:)

    I'm a very antisocial person. I've decided - not having contact with others and not having to deal with them, it's the best way to be:):):rotfl::rotfl:. I'm gonna be antisocial and sod ya:rotfl:. Much quieter, simpler, better life. You do need others in your life, to deal with the problems, troubles, emotional upsets, but the fewer dealings with others, the better. Social relationships cause so much trouble, particularly their break-ups and heartaches. The less involved with the better:j.

    And there I was - I was just coming here to say I'd got me carrots and was going round to have a look (sadly:(:rotfl:) on some car parks on a Saturday afternoon. The waiting (and waiting) for last night's (this morning's?) disasters, I did have a bit of time moving things from different lists - so perhaps that can come later, probably for Sunday shopping.:D:D I'll try and keep it an NSD for me though. Ooh, nearly forgetting - gotta to off to Morries for me apples.:) See you soon.

    How can you tell what your usage is please ?
    I am with Sky and just have the broadband and landline with them. It is unlimited and I have got it password protected.

    On our BT - you can go into Usage & see what you have used.

    The sada v Tosco - sada items cheaper than Tosco is more interesting - some useful fillers if you have Tosco conditional spends to use up.
