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  |
I've been with BT Broadband since feb 2007, in that time I have never received any notification from them regarding my usage, or that there may be an extra monthly charge, can't say that I went into any great debating on costs with them at the time I signed up
