I wouldn't worry about it too much. I think the smallest allowance BT have is 15 GB a month. If all your doing is getting emails and downloading texts you won't go anywhere near that amount.
Even if you donwloaded 700 MB a week you'd still only be at 2.8 GB a month.Don't forget that when you go on the internet or check your email your also sending small amounts of data and that also counts towards your usage limit.
If you were downloading lots of music, audiobooks and videos or sharing a lot through torrents and the like, then you would need to be concerned.

Hi Andy The average daily news paper from Talking papers is about 300kb and on a Sunday it can be as much as 1.20mb Anyway thanks for confirming that this sort of thing does Count for download allowance. However, does that also mean spam mail counts as well! Seems I will have to be on unlimited package And Bt charges £25 a month!

It's streaming data or downloading films/music/audio that eats up download allowances - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Hornby"<Derek.hornby_uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To:<access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, February 05, 2012 1:25 PM Subject: [access-uk] Broadband queryHi All If a ISP such as BT, has limit on data downloads, Does this include emails? For example, If one was receiving long email attachments like Talking news papers, would this count for the download limits.
