What's an excessive download amount a month for Zen?

[link to this post]

Hi,

I've been having issues with d/l speed and buffering lately and I went onto the Zen website just to do a speedtest etc and I checked out my stats while there and in particular, my download totals per month. Last month, for example, was about 840 GB, the month before, 700 odd.

Is that a lot or par for the course in this day and age?

Thx.

That's above the UK average, but it's not what I would even consider high usage.

I manage a Zen line that hasn't used less than 2TB a month for over 9 months.
They used 3.7Tb in May.

You have nothing to worry about.

OK, thanks for that. My issue is still ongoing, d/l all over the place where even posting on Twitter causes some Tweets to buffer as I click 'post'. Speedtests not completting due to upload or download issues.
