Everything you send or receive over the Internet is bits of data, whether it's a web page, an email, a music track or a video clip. Each element of data is a different size and is measured in Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes (MB) or Gigabytes (GB). The average email is around 4KB, a digital photo around 1MB and a music track around 5MB (1MB=1024KB, 1GB=1024MB).
You can use your broadband connection freely up to the published usage allowance (2GB, 10GB, 20GB or 40GB, depending on the product you have selected). Once you have reached your allowance, you can choose whether to purchase additional GB or to have your download speed reduced to 256Kbps until the start of your next billing month.
Usage is charged for each additional GB or part thereof at £1.75 per GB.
