ADSL Account Usage.

My daughter is on Value and I am on Extra.
My daughter has a PS3 which her son uses quite a lot.
Last billing period she came within a few MBs of her limit due to PS3 game updates.
This billing period there are more updates and my thought was to take her PS3 home and update it on my Broadband.
Instead could I change the login details on her router to mine, download the updates and revert the login details to hers thereby putting the update traffic on my account.

Not too sure about option B, though... I could be totally wrong here, but aren't usernames tied to specific phone numbers?...

Can confirm that you can indeed log into any PN account on any PN broadband line.

This is what I am proposing.
I go down to my daughter's house.
I log into her router's GUI and disconnect the PPP session.
I change the ADSL username and password to mine and reconnect the PPP session.
I then update the PS3.
I then log back into her router's GUI and change her router's ADSL username and password back to her own.
Job done if it's possible.
Edit: Thanks to Alex and purleigh

It would probably fail otherwise.....or if it didn't, it should.

PS I've just spoken to my grandson re. game updates. It appears this afternoon he's downloaded most game updates but needed advice on a couple of others.
I've checked their account and 1GB of their 10GB used in 3 days which included Windows updates on their laptop.
I think I'm going to have to have a word about Plusnet Extra.
