This is my first ever Broadband & Home Phone package.
Being an avid gamer I tend to spend a lot of time playing Online, downloading patches/updates and various other things.
On top of that would be streaming Music/Videos online with things like Spotify and Netflix/Lovefilm.
Obviously not all at the same time, and certainly not 24/7.
I just wondered when you say 'Unlimited Usage', does it truly mean Unlimited or is there a hidden cap on it?

Actually there is a limit - you can't download more than 850GB per day.

In the year and a bit I've been on here, I've never seen an issue with someone downloading too much.

So you would need a consistent throughput speed of above 82mbps , = unless you have FFTH/OD you cannot download that amount of data over a 24hrs period

Heavist month since joining plusnet my line did 641.55GB and thus far I've not received any complaints.
Heck even the quietest month my line shifted over 200GB
Quite a mixture of traffic, Including a lot of Sky GO streaming inplace of Multiroom (It would be a pain to wire up the Sat dish to upstairs)
