broadband usage

Options
Could someone please help:

Does my broadband usage increase if I view video clips on Youtube and BBC iPlayer or does it increase only if I download them?

Many thanks in advance

    Yes it counts towards your usage, it doesn't matter if you stream content or download it, it all counts, as does anything you upload

    If you are considering a package with limited broadband , be aware that lots of people have posted , saying that they have had to pay large excess fees when going over the limit (easily done if you stream).
  • Many thanks to both "iniltous" and "teddysmum" for your replies and advice
