The devices you use see a faster network and use much more ie Youtube starts pulling HD video, Facebook starts preloading content and video, Netflix changes to the higher quality even web pages preload more images and sometimes even preload the links they think you might click. I honestly doubt you've hit 1TB though, but it is possible

frozenfrozen wrote: » We will all get shouted at for bringing the thread off topic to the unfit for purpose 1TB limit but anyway IMO it's directly related to Eir FTTH... 1TB FUP is absolutely not fit for purpose. 403KB/s average transfer rate over the month is what gets you the 100 euro fine 33GB per day, how easy is it to pass that? [for anyone who doesn't really know how big 33GB is] so you watch 2 4k episodes of something on netflix (16.8GB/hr), watch youtube in 1080p (1.6GB/hr) for an hour or so, download an update for a game on steam or maybe a new game (500MB - 50GB), that's before you have facebook open in another tab (80MB/hr), and on your phone pulling in loads of media content every time you unlock it (???/hr, could be between 0 - 100MB/hr), whatsapp groups with pictures & videos (5MB-80MB/hr), you upload a video to youtube of your cat jumping onto the curtains (1GB), that kind of day at the very least would be over your 33GB daily target. Sure, it could be easy enough to stay inside the 1TB limit with a bit of 'self control' (what's the point in a gig connection if you have to watch youtube in low quality etc..?!) but if you add a second person to the mix? Have a few people over and let them on your wifi? You could see the 100 euro penalty..easily. the fair usage policy should be there to stop people from seeding torrents to 500TB per month or hosting their own copy of the_fappening.zip it shouldn't have any bearing on someone wanting to actually use the 1 gig connection provided by their internet service provider... so they can connect to the internet at 1 gig speeds

Immense speeds (700mb and higher). Why can't we do schemes like that over here? It's not like the rural north of England is awash with cash, but they seem to manage it.
