    As far as I know and what is in thier T&C it includes ALL information uploaded and downloaded no matter what the source is. Just make sure they dont charge you for the extra GB's in your next month bill

    True ... i read the T/C and they dont charge u if u go over u have to say u want more via online or phone they dont auto/ start charging u, plus its £1.40 ish per gig what a ripp off,.. i signed up to BT when it was unlimited and now they moved every one too 15gig,. and there reason for capping usage is so that " every one can get online ",. what a joke,. why dont they just tell the truth " we cant buy no more servers because the money we paid for a 3G licence killed us "

    ill think ill just go with pipex 1mb line :)
