Hi
In addition to what George said, if you are thinking of a UK broadband package,
Plusnet do two packages - one with more features like static IP etc, but a
download limit, and one with no download limit but dynamic IP and no real extra
features both for the same cost. If you wanted extra "bandwidth included", you
can either pay more up front, or leave it to pay slightly higher price for
extra if needed. I think my ISP does £1.50 for each GB you use, but only if
the usage really continually exceeds the limit multiple times - I once made a
mistake when scheduling a download and download 5gb of data in one day, which I
managed to recoup in subsequent months because I hardly ever go beyond 500mb
per month on the hours I am metered.
Unfortunately this is the recent state because ISPs realised they could get
custom by giving very low price tags on their products (I saw a company tonight
on the TV advertising up to 8mb for a tenner a month whilst using the service!).
Are you thinking of moving to this country, or just interested in UK broadband?
If you were really interested, and gave us some figures about what sort of
data you downloaded etc, I could recommend some packages for you.
BTW, I listened to some radio once when on holiday, this was for most of the
morning and I think it only amounted to around 20mb on the line.
Andrew.

Okay. 3 Questions.
1. what if one is, say, listening to the world cup exclusively on the
computer. Does this audio streaming count? Its not exactly tangible, but
you do download kbps.
2. lets say I have 6 gigs of download and I download 6 gigs of music on
perhaps DCC plus plus, Will I run out in one instance?
3. Will 2MB of broadband offer good quality audio streaming?

Hi,
As George says it's the amount of data that goes over the link - usually
download, not upload. I for example have 3gb a month, but only from
Monday-Friday at 08:00-18:00 - the rest (i.e, when I am in) I can use as
much as I want too.
Andrew.

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can tell me what an ISP means when he talks of a usage of
6 gigs per month.
For instance, Freeserve talks of a packkage having a broadband speed of 2MB
and a usage of 6 Gigs.
In the UK, are you limited as to how many hours you use on the internet?
