Another Eircom cap question

    For the first time since I got it (January) Eircom's BB usage page is actually updating.

    Will I get charged if I go over the limit? I never have gone over it and I know people here say they haven't ever been charged but it's just I get the feeling that I'd be the first.

    I have not been charged as of yet for my download usage that is over the limit. I can't guarantee i go over the limit every month though I am sure there is months where I do as I do not pay attention to the volumes of stuff I get. In fact could you link me the site where you can check your eircom stats. I am interested in looking them up and for the life of me cannot recall it.

    Cheers

    Thank you. I need to learn to look at the stickies also. Ok from June to December last year I went over the cap from amounts varying from 2Gb to 15Gb with no extra charges. This year I went over last month by 34Gb for whatever reason so I suppose i'll pay attention to the next phone bill ><. I'm on the 3Mb package just for reference

    I was under the impression that Eircom have gotten rid of their cap... We switched month or so ago, the dude said that there was no cap... That true for new customers or was he telling porkies? I'm on the 1mb (fast, i know...) package...

    [edit] removal of sig as its too large

    The cap's still there in the T&C, so what you got was one of them oral contracts. If you look at your usage stats it'll say there as well (assuming that the capricious Usage Stats Fairy has visited your account and sprinkled it with update dust yet).

    If you look at eircoms packages closely ,their very basic one is based on time.
    It's something like 20Hours online time.

    So when they say your package has no cap ,I think they mean no time cap.
    A bit sneaky ,but good selling none the less,I could be wrong though.

    been with Eircom bb for about 9 months now, each month have gone over the cap by about 30gigs (60gig limit),
    never been charged yet, but god help me if they suddenly decide to collect,
    See you in court Eircom.
