All BT broadband packages now have unlimited data

Some may not be aware that BT still had some broadband packages which were data limited - usually 15GB per month.

E.g. the discounted BT basic+broadband for people on means tested benefits.

And some older broadband products which some might still be on.

They have now made all packages have unlimited data.

The change on the account usage tracker appears to have happened in the last day or so. Interestingly the announcement says this is a permanent change. Also it is back dated to February.

We're removing all caps on all of our broadband packages so every customer has unlimited data during this time.

It does however later in that section seem to say that access to NHS online is going to be permanently unmetered/free.

Yes, some inconsistency there. Maybe bits of the announcement were written at different times. The FAQs at the bottom says "This is a permanent change, we will no longer have any limited broadband packages.".

Yes, very odd. I fully agree with you. I hadn't gone to the FAQ, though you obviously had because you mention the February backdate in your OP.

Even odder, read the first line of that FAQ .

I somehow think that the sentences containing "during this [difficult] time" should have gone walkies when the decision was taken to make it permanent.

Edit: Inserted the quote marks, for clarity.

With the previously announced moving of people from ADSL2+ to VDSL2 (or FTTP if thats available) there would have been a general move from limited to unlimited anyway.
