| A: BT is introducing usage allowances on
its Broadband products in order to offer a better and fairer deal to the majority
of customers.
The benefit of introducing usage limits is that it enables BT to charge most
users substantially less.
Usage allowances give you the ability to transfer up to 15Gb of data per
month with BT Broadband.
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). 1 Mb =
1024Kb; and 1Gb = 1024Mb
All of these things - not just one of them - are possible within
15Gb a month:
