How much is too much??

Evening folks, i know this has probably been asked a thousand times but I thought id check about download limits. Its never been a problem for me before but ive recently signed up for netflix!
Ive just had a nosey on my router and im up to 133GB!!! for this month
Bar from a few xbox live demos its pretty much all netflix.
Do people think this will be an issue or am I all right with that kind of download??

Cheers

Dave J

They quietly dumped the "fair" use caps a while back, dont think anyone has had a nastygram in a long long time. 133GB isnt even that much

Re: How much is too much??

yeah, the only time you'll have a problems is if you try and download it all in one go during peak hours and you'll trigger the stm. Other than that it is cool. 133gb might be a lot for you but as retro has said, many peeps download way more than that and we have never had any letters.
