Usage showing broadband phone calls?

I never check my broiadband usage allowance for many months until today. On my fibre 80/20 usage allowance was showing very high 40.59GB of broadband phonecalls. But, I never make any phone calls over the broadband? Can you explain what does broadband phonecalls is?

That will probably go into broadband calls. Do you use it a lot?

Hey,
Google Hangout Video streaming would come under as a video call Smiley

JoshuaC - yes but no video calls on the usage chart?

More to the point Joshua C - how on earth do you use 40Gb on voice calls? That'd be in excess of 1000 hours (depending on codec used). Looks like a mis-classification to me.

Not if a video call comes under broadband call as there isn't a separate category for that

I think we interpreted Joshua's statement as implying there were separate categories for video calls and phone calls.

It's would give me heart attack if the voice calls was 40GB!
Yes I would like to see voice calls / video calls on the usage allowance to make it more clear!

Re: Usage showing broadband phone calls?

I think Joshua was trying to say, ( not very clearly),  that video calls and voice calls are all classed as Broadband Phone usage. Smiley
