It doesn't help that Neil Young is on tour and I'm grabbing all his concerts via bit-torrent (each show averages 900Mb down and upto 8Gb up). Two and a half weeks in, and i've already downloaded (and mostly uploaded) almost 110Gb!!
What I wanted to know was, how "unlimited" is Unlimited. I am aware of the speed limitations/priorities for various disciplines - BT, Xbox, browsing etc. Will I be warned at some point for downloading too much, or is it really just limiting speed that is enforced?
Regards
Dave

I'll try and keep most of my usage to overnight (although I do work a 4 on, 4 off shift system, so it will be hard) - once i get the kid-in-a-candy-shop attitude out of me! Thanks once again for the very prompt replies. Wow!!

Always has done and always will do. I am monitoring what I'm using on here and it's between 50 and 70 Gb per month.
Not huge amounts but nice to know if I suddenly need a couple of iso's in a hurry I won't get shouted at

Dom,
It really is nice to know, I feel a fair bit of relief I have to say.
I am a music freak, and the bands/artist that I like could never release enough music to sate my appetite, so that's why I turn to live recordings. All legal and above board. Some people just use it to get a souvenir of a show that they attended. Others, like me, are just collectors/archivists. That passion comes with a cost - download quantities!

I say the old days - this was two months ago Now I've gone from a 5Mb connection (and 0.8Mb up) to a 70Mb down and 18Mb up my step-monster can just about do what he wants without me worrying

I rather think you might be limiting him to around 700GB per day!

What's the record monthly download since you launched unlimited fibre?
No, I don't intend to try and beat it
