...I don't think so....

A BIG monthly usage is more due to downloading lots of Video Films, etc, and LOTS of Music files......and live streaming lots of Files....
...is this what you are doing?...... ...!

My Monthly allowance is 40 GB but I don't approach anything like that with my daily Sim Flights....
...in fact my Monthly usage is negligible!... ...!

Are you on ADSL Broadband, or Dial-up?

P.S. ...don't upset your Service Provider...or he will cut you off!.... ...!

Wow... My monthly allowance is 250GB

hmmm....thanks - we have ADSL. I think the UK net providers are stingy.

Why don't you stay away from the providers with max limit?

Not really, however, if you do live in the UK (supposedly the 5th wealthiest country in the world) you may have problems because of the cr*p connections we get here!

Move out of belgium... or get a real provider

A limit on a broadband connection? Man, you lads got screwed....

Crash (unlimited at 20Mb/s 24/7)

The only folks that know how much you are downloading/using out of your Monthly allowance is your Service Provider, and they purposely will not tell you your usage as the Month progresses....for reasons best known to themselves!.........!

That sounds like they want you to go over your limit so they can charge you more ... I can't imagine that happening ...

Shane ... That's a great idea ... the best ones are always the simplest!  Thanks.

I don't mind using a bit of my monthly allowance but likewise don't indulge in streaming music or video, if I can help it, anyway.
