now i have just got a gone over the allowance warning and extra charges, but i cant understand how this is worked out. (i have a secured wireless network)
if my BB pro product started on the 10th october then i should be billed 10th to the 10th each month?
why does it not show a start time and a finish for each completed month?, what i have here is from november to january 08!!?
this has totally confused me:
Paid-For Usage Free: Total usage
Web 36% 4% 40%
Email 1% 0% 1%
Broadband phonecalls 7% 1% 8%
Gaming 0% 0% 0%
Streaming 34% 4% 38%
PlusNet FTP 0% 0% 0%
Peer-to-peer 8% 0% 8%
Usenet 0% 0% 0%
FTP (non PlusNet) 0% 0% 0%
Other 4% 1% 5%
Total usage so far 90% 10% 100%
these percentages are wrong:
i spend most of my time gaming ( BF2 GRAW2) yet it says 0%
I dont have a broadband phone deal with plusnet i have vonage which i dont use very often anyway.
the streaming content is less used than my gaming in real life. the rest is purely surfing and email.
to be continued..........

It looks like your usage should have been reset on December 4th (your billing date), but wasn't.
I believe that we have a problem open on this.
In the interim, I'll raise a ticket into networks to get your usage reset.

10% broadband phonecalls, 3% gaming and 22% other.
I do not have these facilities as my account should show.
Explain the situation!

Looks like your usage has now been reset from the 4th onwards, so this should now be fixed.

with all due respect Start/Get your own thread!! If you want answers
My account is showing 'In this months Usage' that from 4th November to today, i have used 20+GB and that i am 4 GB over the limit.
i have been checking the tickets (thanks for that)
The internet activities % looks more realistic now.
I don't think its been reset yet.
Billing cycle is 4th december and i have used 16GB in 7 days?
Quick question, If i watch premium Baseball streaming video content at 700 Kbps, how much bandwidth will i actually use in 30 mins?

To be fair, I think I may have been getting the two issues confused!
As per the update to your ticket yesterday, we have a problem currently open performing manual resets. The fix for this is still ongoing, but we should be able to sort out your usage pretty soon.
Sorry for the delays.

Seems in some cases the customer checks the stats and writes a ticket to refute the usage then its manual reset. What happens to customers who don't check are they being billed extra cost or speed restriction applied
This is very worrying for all us if this is happening
I trust this not happening?

We've got people checking over all of the people that would have been in that situation.

can someone look at why i have been over charged for this months usage? 04 december to 04 jan 08
according to the stats i used just under 12GB of my 14GB allowance.
The bill says i used an extra 4GB (£3.60) which i did not because your system was measuring bandwidth incorrectly.
invoice number 10435491 pellatt2004

Leave this with me whilst I calculate a breakdown of your last months usage via our CBC logs.

After going through the CBC logs and manually adding up your daily usage over your last billing period, this comes to rough 14.1GB. Obviously the doesn't take into account your off peak usage, but my logs and VMBU seem to be telling me that you were overbilled, so I've now refunded the additional £3.60 that you were charged.
