Why is my speed throttled??????

Why is my speed throttled this evening when I have a £5 additional usage set on my account - why should I be paying for this when I'm getting no benefit from it??!!!

Probably for the same reason I was.
I have flagged this up as a second report to Staff

Actually got through to support on phone - ignore the 20min wait message - stats page said 3mins and it was!
They temporarily removed the cap totally - reboot router - then reapply my £5 cap and now all ok - can't say if a reboot alone would have fixed it?

If you had reached your allowance limit and was speed limited before paying an additional £5 then a reboot would be necessary to remove the speed limit.

Hi fhstudios,
I've now raised a problem on this (ID 66699) so if we do get more examples then we may be able to get to the root cause. At least there was a workaround for now.
