BT Yahoo! Broadband usage allowances
Usage allowances give you the ability to transfer up to 15Gb of data per
month with the BT Yahoo! Broadband 512Kbps service or 30Gb of data per
month with the BT Yahoo! Broadband 1Mb service.
The amount of data transferred is the total data received by the end user
(downloaded) and sent by the end user (uploaded) over their broadband
service and is measured in Kilobytes (Kb), Megabytes (Mb) or Gigabytes
(Gb). 1Mb = 1024KB; and 1Gb = 1024Mb.
Check out the table below to give you an idea of what
15Gb a month usage allowance may mean to you. Please note that you will
be able to do all of the below.
Surfing the Internet - 15 hours each day
Sending 250 JPEG pictures via e-mail every week
Receiving 250 JPEG pictures via e-mail every week
Downloading 250 music tracks every week

BT will not start charging for usage above the allowances
until early 2005. After this time, if you go over your monthly allowance
you can decide if you want to buy more capacity, so you are in control
of your bill. We will confirm prices for additional usage nearer this
time but indicative prices for additional usage allowance top ups are
currently £2 per additional GB, although we plan to develop a range
of options that could make this even less.
