FTTP data usage

scallydeejay — Sun, 14 May 2023 16:49:10 GMT

Hello. I have just joined BT FTTP as I got a good deal, I’ve been with Sky broadband for a lot of years.

my question is I have Sky glass and I usually use about 5TB of data a month. Sky show you how much data you use each month.

is it possible to see how much data I’m using on BT? I’m worried I’m constantly streaming UHD content on live broadcast for say 9 hours a day and I don’t want to get caught by done fair usage policy.

do BT tether or cap usage?

thanks

You can not check your data usage because your package will be an unlimited one. You will not be affected by a fair usage policy if for no other reason than I have never heard of BT pulling anybody up for using too much data.

So far as the Acceptable Use Policy goes, I don't believe there are any limits on unlimited data any more.

I think the link you posted refers more to behaviour while using the connection rather than the amount of data used.
