Check BT Yahoo broadband usage?
I think we have a cap of 30GB now on the 2 mb line (all done after we got the BB - outrageous because I can't be arsed to move companies). Is there any way to find out how much I've used on BT(yahoo)'s awful site?
I know you can get monitors for the PC but Xbox and laptops and people stealing our wireless connection in the pub etc make them useless.
thanks
On another note, what do you all think about the caps, and why cap to 30GB???

it happened a while ago we got a letter saying that we had no comeback that it was in the Ts and Cs that they could apply a cap. Ive no idea if its for anyone else, or just bt yahoo. We are paying £26.99 for 1mb (would be 2mb but we are too far away apparantely).

ive no idea looks like theyve capped everything.
the £26.99 pack now has a 20GB, i dont know if we still have 30GB or if its been changed again to 20GB. 
We started with 512 for £25, then they started capping to 15GB, then upgraded to 1mb for an extra £2 a month that had a cap of 30GB i think now i dont know where i stand. rubbish info.

my first ever inetrnet was with pipex they were very good.
we had to have BT because before we had ISDN and it was £150 to remove if we didnt get BT broadband.
can we transfer to pipex from BT or are we under contract of some sort that prevents it? i read something about MAC somethings but things like this are always sooo long winded (think carrying phone number over from one SIM to another  )

i think as long as you've been with them for more than a year you fone them up and ask for a MAC code (which will mean you want to leave them) and u have to phone pipex up and give them MAC code apparently
£24 for unlimited 1/2mbps is fantastic IMO, (1mbps during peak hours(soon to be))
