Perlico usage charts

    So I have perlico for 2 and a half months now
    the first month and a half I didn't set up the broadband

    I am on the pay as you use package with a minimum charge of 2.50 and a max of 19.99 a month

    I then emailed them asking if it was possible to buy a wireless router off them,
    I very soon after got an email saying that a free router had been sent to me,
    I then got this 4 more times in quick succession and low and behold 5 routers turn up at my door the next day.

    anyway since I have set one up I have not been charged above the minimum fee of 2.50 and the usage statistics on their site still indicate that I have never used the internet.

    Has anyone any experience of their usage statistics been off?

    I am definitely not connecting via a different network for eg. a neighbours wireless, it is definitely through perlico.

    5 routers? XD

    We have the same problem, according to perlico online we are not using any packages even though we've been using broadband for more than a month. What do the usage statistics show? How much you've downloaded and uploaded?

    So the perlico download and upload manger does not work on perlico user accounts? then how do they/we know how much we are using?

    Use a 3rd party utility like Netmeter - only good if you're using one computer connected to the internet though.

    The usage meter hasn't been working for months now. I e-mailed them about it, but they never replied.

    So if someone hacks into my perlico network and downloads a lot of stuff I will get charged for overusage?
