To ensure that it is able to provide all of its customers with a continued high quality service, Nildram is introducing a usage limit of 50GB per month for non-business customers, which applies between 8.00am - midnight. Outside of this time, no usage limit will apply.

From July, customers that exceed the 50GB limit will still be able to continue their service at 64kb for the rest of their billing month or buy extra bandwidth at 99p per GB. Users that do not exceed their 50GB allowance will be able to carry over unused usage to the following month.

Customers on Nildram's Professional product range will remain exempt from the fair use policy and, from July, will automatically enjoy significant enhancements to their service. All lines will be upgraded to 2Mbps connection speeds, where available, during office hours (8.00am to 6.00pm) - reverting to 512kbps or 1024kpbs outside of these times.
