Data usage

Aaron1321 — Sat, 20 Feb 2021 16:48:18 GMT

Hi everyone im currently looking at buying a 150gb data plan for £20 a month, but am unsure about fair data usage policy. I dont have broadband at home and use my phone as mobile hotspot. Its connected to the tv which i watch a lot of streaming services. And also the xbox one, where i download 1 game a month around 50gb. In one go, and then just casual use with streaming on the tv for the rest of the 100gb, i dont really want to be banned for occasionally downloading a file size like this in one go. Im not sure what you class as excessive usage.

Id love to hear from you. Regards Aaron.

@Aaron1321

You can use the 150gb as you wish.

Data will stop once you've used it all up.

Fair usage policy

Thats fair enough, im only looking to download one x box game a month roughly 50gb and the rest for casual streaming. I wouldn't ever go over 150gb. I was just worried id get banned because i used 50gb in one day.

@Aaron1321

FUP really only applies to unlimited allowances.

Where there's a restriction on allowances, it doesn't effect you.
