    I am using eircom broadband.
    In my package my broadband download limit is 30GB

    I just wordering how they calculate the usage

    for an example I download a movie as 4.5GB

    so I will have 25.5GB left to use?

    what if I watch the vedio in youtube?still calculate on that limit?

    is there have anyway to check how many usage did I use?

    Everything you download counts towards your limit, web pages, streamed movies/music, youtube etc.

    Click on this link - Eircom Support , on the right hand side of the page enter your phone no. and account no and it'll show you what you've used and what you've left.

    I think (when I had eircom) there was a section on their website where you could check your stats.

    Yes youtube counts.. and any browsing/emailing.

    Possibly uploads are counted towards that limit aswell, so if you could find that page on their website it'll help you see what your actual usage is.

    edit:ninja got there first

    Been over mine almost every month, got one letter stating they may start charging for the extra, but they haven't and that was a year ago.
