Its a busy little thing!

I can't recall getting any notification either.

I got into the habit many years ago of archiving any e-mail that I might have reason to want to refer to (it's helped on a number of occasions) and the only things I have from SK is the initial connection correspondence and the monthly report cards.

I'm on unlimited and only just over 50 Mbps anyway, so not particularly fussed, but I'm sure it's not something I would have forgotten about if I had received.

Likewise.

I found the email - 28th Oct 2013.

I'm only 48 Mbps on average, so I suspect I'm on the lower testing plan, which I wouldn't notice.

I also have the Linksys box, which is black, not the newer TP-Link whitebox.

I delete mine but I never purge the Trash folder. I've got emails going back nearly four years in there. I can see my Samknows sign-up emails and all the report cards but no notification. Admittedly that was during my recent rather hectic job hunting session but still - I don't think I ever got one.

The email content varies, mine made no mention of the usage varying based on connection speed.

At the time I had sky fibre connecting at 40Mbit

The reason we're letting you know is The reason we're letting you know is because the improved tests will consume more data (an extra 2.5GB per month). As such, this may affect your billing if you are on a package that does not have an unlimited data allowance. If you're unsure about your data allowance, please contact your ISP. Remember, SamKnows Reporting works best when users remain anonymous to ISPs, so please don't mention the Whitebox when speaking to your ISP.

I pretty much keep all my emails, I don't have any such email from them.

The last bit of the e-mail disagrees a bit with their web site which states -

"By using this system, you�ll know about problems with your Internet connection even before your ISP. You can also send the data to your ISP to help them quickly identify and fix any issues."

Makes it a bit less useful if you can't tell the ISP the source, and accuracy, of the data.

I just looked, and it seems that Samknows did indeed send out an email update, which says the following:

I didn't get that email. Very odd.

I still have the older Black Linksys box, I remember getting the email though, and like you am on unlimited so not worried, and have never checked how much it is actually using, although I have just set up monitoring it just to see,

I got the email and read it, not a problem as I'm on unlimited usage.
