    guys, yesterday i was just going through my bills on myupc and i noticed my package was upgraded from ultra to xtreme. I called 1908 straight away, after waiting for like an hour i got through to the sales department got myself downgraded to express. Since the customer care department is only open on weekdays i will have to call back and find out WHY I WAS UPGRADED W/O MY KNOWLEDGE cause i havent been going above my 250gb download allowance
    i installed this software they suggested called DUmeter, havent even crossed 150gb ever in any month. Then i started browsing around their website and i saw this: http://service.upc.ie/service/?cid=123&aid=85

    Are there any usage restrictions?
    While our broadband service provides flat rate Internet access product with usage limits of up to 120Gb, users are reminded that they must at all times adhere to the current Usage Policy and Terms and Conditions.

    That's from the days when the Ultra package was only 12Mbps and had a 120GB cap. That FAQ has been up there, unchanged, since then.

    Have you wireless (someone may be leeching)?
    More than one PC (the DUmeter will only calculate data on the PC its installed on)?
    Counting both upload and download (its a transfer limit of ~250GB, not a download limit)?

    i dont use that netgear router they have given me, i am directly connected to the modem, so that eliminates that possibility
    according to my DUmeter:

    You should just ring them again tomorrow, and customer care to check why you were upgraded, and also get them to clarify the cap you're on.
