Hello all,

I know there has been complaints about Eircom's broadband calculator. But what exactly does the Estimated total Downloads this month mean as below..

Total Downloads to date this month: 2871 MB
Download Allowance: 8000 MB
Percent of Allowance used to Date: 35%
Estimated total Downloads this month: 9890 MB

Should i be worried? Or does it mean that i will exceed my 8GB capacity if i keep downloading at the rate i'm currently downloading at? How accurate is the Eircom BB Calculator? Is it true that (at the moment anyways) you won't be charged for breaking Eircom's BB Caps?

Thanks in advance,

Brian
