I received a notification from BT saying that I downloaded over 50gb last month .This apparently exceeds their "fair usage" quota of 40gb a month and in future I will be charged an extra £1 for every Gb I download above the 40Gb "fair usage.
I've been with them for several years , my original contract was advertised as "unlimited download facility" . Having queried this they tell me the contract was changed some time ago . Obviously I skimmed one of the "spam" mails they sent me and didn't pick up on this.
I'm paying £24 a month for a 2mbs speed broadband with a cap of 40GBb download . I have now registered with Sky , they offer up to 8mbs broadband with a 40Gb cap for £5 a month .
£10 a month gives you a speed of up to 16mbs and an unlimited download facility (although the small print does mention a "fair usage policy)
I'm waiting for them to advise me what their "fair usage is and what speeds are available in my area.
They certainly seem to offer a better deal than BT.
