    Hi all,

    Im currently on NTL 3mb broadband package which gives monthly limit of 20mb.

    Whats the best way to keep track of my usage per month and if you go over the 20mb do NTL actually bill you for the extra

    I know they can but do they actually?

    Thanks

    The cap is 20GB, not 20mb.

    I don't think NTL can charge you for going over the cap, but they can disconnect you.

    NTL (UPC) will normally send you one or two warning letters before doing anything and usually give you the option to upgrade to a more expensive product with a higher cap.

    Unless you've received a warning letter, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Awesome! Now they've launched their own bank.. They are way ahead of sky.

    that's fine if you only have one PC, but if you use multiple PC's and/or games consoles or stuff like that you'll need a router with monitoring features built in.

    some newer routers may have this feature, but generally, a good router with a 3rd party firmware like ddwrt or tomato will do the job nicely.
