    Hi,

    I know that this has been posted before but I can't find the thread..

    I have the 1mb home package from BT that allows me to download only 10GB per month..

    If I go over what do they charge, or do they even charge..?

    Thanks,
    Techguy

    They'll throttle you.

    They will allow you exceeding your usage up to a point (way over 10 or 20 or 30 gb at the moment) and once you do, they will throttle you.

    What would that point be for a 10GB package? 20GB??

    There's probably no one who can accurately answer that question, but 20G on the 10G would probably be a good guess. At 20G, they might also just ask you to upgrade your plan to that level.

    Im on the 7.6 meg "unlimited" download package (subject to fair usage) and i downloaded 100gb in 20 days and the have taken my speed down to 128kbps which as far as im concerned is killing it not throttling it.

    You broke the T&Cs.

    afaik they havent gone to the FUP limits on the upgrade packs so for now the old limits till apply I believe.

    Least thats what i gathered from one of the other BT threads here.

    Caps & FUP covered in the FAQ/Charter, if you break the T&C's the provider can do what they advise as outlined in their T&C's
