Hey guys recently got BT Broadband, I have just discovered their usage site and I have downloaded a good chunk already in a week, what I would like to know what the Bt broadband cap is and how much is charged for exceeding it.

Regards

Are you on the 1 or 2 meg service

Chong · 30-07-2005 5:50pm

1 Meg as far as I know. Its the one for 49 euro month with phone line rental.

beller b · 30-07-2005 5:51pm

Not sure I think it 16gb

Dinner · 30-07-2005 5:56pm

I think it is 16 too. Too my knowledge, BT havent charged anyone for going over the cap so you should be ok.

Chong · 30-07-2005 5:56pm

Jeez that would be sweet I thought it was have that.

If your paying €49 the 2 meg is only an extra €8 & the cap is 24gb

You're right, it's €50 for 2mb BB + line rental. I just got it too (although I got the intro offer for €35 for 1st 4 months).

BTW, where is the usage site??? Sounds interesting.

Download allowance on the 1mb product is 12gb.

zuma · 31-07-2005 6:35am

But on the 2Mb package, which Willem D has, its 24GBytes a month.

Chong · 08-08-2005 2:46pm

Well guys,

I ordered an upgrade to 2mb last week does anyone know how long it generally takes before its upgraded.

Thanks

beller b · 08-08-2005 2:53pm

Usually a couple of days..don,t think they tell you , just check irishisptest every day or 2.

When they upgraded mine to 2mb it took 9 working days (and a few phone calls). Like bellerb said, they don't notify you when it's done so keep an eye on your router and the speed test.

Chong · 08-08-2005 4:20pm

Thanks lads.

Chong · 10-08-2005 2:46pm

Ok guys I got my 2mb broadband today, is their any differences that will notice.

RangeR · 10-08-2005 3:44pm

Not trying to be smart, but the major difference is that you will notice a double speed increase. 2MB instead of 1MB.

I ordered an upgrade today also. Their website ways that the Home Plus package is 128Kb upload but their phone guys said that it is now 256Kb upload. That's why I upgraded.

Scruff · 10-08-2005 4:25pm

its gone up to 256k eh??? thats great if its true. dont have any faith in the phone biddies though.

Chong · 10-08-2005 5:14pm

Exactly I was informed that it was still 128 today. They really dont know their arse from their elbows.

Vunderground · 10-08-2005 5:54pm

98.4 right now. Terrible.
