This switch to BT has a previously unnoticed disadvantage.

I have been with them for 2 weeks and 3 days and have received mail which tells me that I have used 7.76 of my 10 monthly usage allowance.
Unless I modify my usage I will be paying extra £5 a month every month my usage exceeds 10.

I dont download music.
I dont download films.
I do websearch extensively for many hours a day.

I would appreciate your comments on what you think may be causing this 'excess use'.

I suspect the following -
..watching TV on BBC iplayer
..reading a book on a live connection to scrbd
..having several webpages open at one time for a few hours at a time.

If these are causing heavy usage, I will need to modify my browsing habits, reluctantly.

PS as an afterthought - could someone be 'piggybacking' my connection
