After being on the FTTP "trial" in Milton Keynes for two years I've had a trouble free experience and have just loved the 21st Century broadband experience.
However, I have started to find I'm edging towards my 60GB limit each month and this month went over, costing me £5 per 5GB. Now with iplayer HD and large downloads from work this is going to happen more frequently to me so I wanted to know what I can do to up my 60GB limit. Although I must admit, it is a bit odd to accept people onto a FTTP trial and not consider that they might need more higher limits than normal ADSL users.
Anyway - it was a simple process of calling up support and asking then how I can increase it, the answer is to pay an extra £3 per month and get the 60GB cap increased to 120GB. This is still only half what's available on the regular package of 250GB but should be enough for me.....for now. I suppose the problem has come about because I joined the trial so long ago and at the time just took out a regular ADSL package which seemed reasonable, after all 60GB is a lot of data.....OK....was a lot of data. But I now often use 2-3 GB per day....also my son's back from Uni so doing his own thing with iPlayer so it all starts to add up.
So onwards with year three of my trial and to see how long 120GB per month will enough for me.
Hope this is useful for those others on the trial who might have hit their download limits.
