    Multiple devices connect, streaming music, films etc, and even on high usage months I get nowhere near to the 1000gb limit.

    With three the limit isn't a limit as such, it's the maximum they have worked out you can use, at the Maximum network speed, downloading etc 24/7, but even the iit'snot a hard limit, iit'sjust when your account will be flagged for excessive usage.

    I agree. I do all of the above and the best I have done so far is 66GB in a month.
    The more I live, the more I learn.
    The more I learn, the more I grow.
    The more I grow, the more I see.
    The more I see, the more I know.
    The more I know, the more I see,
    How little I know.!! ;)

    249gb here :o

    And that was a lot of films etc just after my motorbike crash and tending broken bits.

    There's often 3 or 4 people here doing various things on laptops, watching films, on a games consoles etc etc

    I can't even think of how you'd hit 1000gb a month, well you could, but it would take some work if you were just doing 'normal' things.

    To put the limit in to context for the op, if you streamed Iplayer 24/7 for a month, you'd use about 500gb of data, that's 720 hours of video and it'll use up about 1/2 of your limit.

    1000gb is a massive amount of data, just leave the mobile data permanently connected, you be fine and stay within the limits whatever you do.
