The BT Infinity Broadband is still subject to our Fair Usage policy. This means that if you do go over the 300Gb mark your connection will be restricted during peak hours for the next 30 days. Your speed would be restricted to around 2Mbps during the peak hours for those 30 days.

Yes, you have mentioned that several times now. If this worries you, use a different ISP. I am happily using BT Infinity. Have a son who is surgically attached to X-box live, three lap tops, a PC and BT Vision. No one has capped us.

Even now, nobody needs more than 300GB on a domestic service. I merely pointed out that uploads are counted, which for some people may be important. Online backups for example.

My broadband basic info/help site - www.robertos.me.uk
My domains,website and mail hosting - Tsohost. Internet connection - IDNet Home Starter Fibre.

What's your issue ?
Yes, thank you, I understand about speed caps, FUP's, etc. If you feel you are likely to be going over this, then find someone else.
My point was that in a fairly internet busy household, like mine, BT Infinitys FUP was fine.

So then, which is the correct answer?

Sat 26th Feb
"from what i did hear bt infinity cuts your speed if you go over 300 gigs usage in a month
but i spoke to the (CEO) ian livningstion team on the phone yesterday and they said this does not happen at all the only thing that might happen is you may get a letter informing you of your usage "


or,

Mon 28th Feb
"Thank you for the PM. The BT Infinity Broadband is still subject to our Fair Usage policy. This means that if you do go over the 300Gb mark your connection will be restricted during peak hours for the next 30 days. Your speed would be restricted to around 2Mbps during the peak hours for those 30 days."
