Eircom Download Meter?

donutheadhomer · 2003-05-22 18:50:47

Has anyone used the Eircom Download meter? This is what I get. I've only been online 2 weeks and I can't have downloaded this much. Check out the Upload level also, at 128kp/s how could this be possible? Any ideas on what to say to Eircom? Who do I ring about it? Are they geffo gonna charge for going over the cap limit?…

You gotta exaggerate when estimating what amount you're going to download.

I never thought I'd download 40GB in three weeks(!)

Good ol' Netsource!

No way, I've really been watchin it. I've only once downloaded 200mbs and 4 days I didn't use it at all. Yesterday their meter said that I downloaded only 1317mbs in total.

check out this thread that was started earlier: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?threadid=97139

you'll see there's others having the same problem. From checking on broadbanddownload.eircom.net I've apparently used 14GB so far which comes to a grand total of 310 euros I allegedly now owe eircom
