    where do you get the meter? is it an app or something? sounds like a handy way to keep track of my download limit.

    What actually happens if I go above my usage limit? Do you pay extra or what?

    Is the usage meter working via router DNS settings or how does this work?

    Hi Mr_Grumpy.

    If you are on an NGB package you will get charged if you exceed your monthy upload/download usage limit.

    Thanks, Mark

    Hi Resend.

    No the usage meter will only return the usage for the month when a customer has downloaded the meter and enetrs the telephone number they wish to check.

    The usage information is not sent anywhere else.

    Thanks, Mark
