120 GB download allowance

    We're thinking of switching to Nova Networks and with the 8mb broadband, you get "unlimited data" (which is actually 120gb a month). I'm just wondering how much is 120gb in relation to downloading music/movies etc?

    We generally have 2 laptops going for a few hours during the day surfing the Internet and watching some Youtube videos, and I watch some TV online and occasionally download the odd movie. Do you think 120gb would be enough?


    Cheers

    If you take it that you can download a film for roughly 1gb then you could download 120 films. You'd be doing very well to get your way through 120gb a month. I download a few films,music,apps and online gameplay and i wouldnt even reach 15gb a month

    Hey
    Nove do a fair usage policy thing where you get 4GB per day of full speed useage . After that you are throttled to 128kb I think. Maybe monitor for 2 or 3 days what your whole household uses and then see if thats enough. Are you going to bundle with the phone?
    If not go on their 'Business' option which is double the usage and 1 euro cheaper a month.

    wow 4GB a day sucks

    but 120GB over the month is more than enough for even above average use

    I guess it's OK, it works out at 11.4 days at continuous maximum bandwidth per month. You should be fine, but yes 4GB a day does suck!
