Do BT speed restrict you if you download 100GB d...

I'm just transferring my telephone line back to BT (from Sky), so that I can order BT Infinity, which has been enabled in my town in the last couple of days.
On the 1st September, when my line is re-connected to BT, I will be ordering BT Infinity Option 2.
I understand the FUP that BT will apply, which really p***es me off, as on my 4Mbps Sky ADSL2+ service, on average I download 150GB per month, although last month was a record for me at 350GB.
So as far as I understand it when I reach 100GB usage on BT Infinity (which given a 10x speed increase, I'm likely to hit 100GB in a couple of days), BT will slow me down during peak hours to 2Mbps down, and 1Mbps up, for a period of 30 days.. fine, well not fine, it's **** really, but I understand it will happen, so fine.
My question is this. If I download 100GB in the first 5 days of the month, then I will get speed restricted. During off-peak hours my speed will be unrestricted, and I can continue to download / upload at full speed. So let's say for the remaining 25 days of the month, I download a further 200 to 300GB. At the end of the 30 day speed restricted period, will BT then lift my peak hours speed restriction, even though I may have downloaded 200 - 300GB in the last 25 days.
What I'm trying to figure out is, will BT permanently speed restrict me if I continue to dowload more than 100GB during the 30 day speed restricted period?

Hey Guys i know im new here! 
i have had the same problem with my business connection
i phoned the guys at bt business help centre 08456007020
and they said i had downloaded 121gb in 3 weeks and i was on maximum throttling at peak time for 30days 
1 measly mbps it is **bleep**!
i am fed up with bt as i am sure everyone else is! they should take a leaf out of plusnet and do traffic management more their way!
with gaming prioritised at all times and have no limit on the speed's we get,
appart from slightly slower speed's in peak times say 10 - 25% less of the usual rate in peak times if the line is over 4mb
which i think is understandable and would love to hear your comments and also below is a bt speedtest result as of 22:43 29.09.2010
 Download speedachieved during the test was - 952 Kbps
 For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.
 Additional Information:
 Your DSL Connection Rate :8128 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)
 IP Profile for your line is - 7150 Kbps
My ip address is static and my speedtest summary page is here

    In plain english how do you download past error message 0x8ooB0101?

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    That would depend upon the card reader, who makes it, and what their suppointing software does.  I happen to have an older ZoomIT SD card reader with a 30 pin dock connector.  The hardware maker provides an app for iOS that allows me to use the adapter with my iPhone 4 and I can open pictures from the SD card and view them.  I believe it even allows me to save teh image to my cameral roll if I want.  Since it does have the 30 pin dock connector, I need to use the Apple adapter to plug it into the Lightning port on my iPhone 5, but is still works just fine there too.
    I also have the Apple Camera Connection Kit (30 pin version) but it is much more restrictive.  It only works with the iPad, and it only copies certain files form teh SD card to the iPad. (The files must be in the "/DCIM" folder on the SD card, the file name must be in the older DOS 8.3 file name format, and I believe it only woirks with JPG, and MOV files.  As you can see, the Apple device is built to let me view pictures from my point-n-shoot cmera on the iPad screen, whereas the ZoomIT allows copying of content to/from the SD card and an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch.
    Now for the bad news, I don' tthink the ZoomIT reader is made any longer, and when you can find them, the sellers are usually charging close to $125 for them.

    App Store is preinstalled and cannnot be removed from iOS so there is no need to download it. If you don't see it, check to be sure that restrictions are not.

  • How do you download free apps on itunes without hidden charges

    how do you download  free apps in itunes library  without hidden charges being applyed

    Apps that are listed in the app store as free will be free to download (if you have a credit card on your iTunes account then you may get a temporary holding charge on it which should disappear within a few days : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3702). If you don't want to be able to buy any 'extras' within any app after you've downloaded it then turn off In-App Purchases on your devices - on an iPad it's under Settings > General > Restrictions, and I assume it's similar for other devices.

  • What release level of code do you get when you download a disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product?

    I’ve asked a similar question to this on an Office Community Forum but nobody knows the answer.  So
    I was hoping that an IT professional responsible for installing and deploying Office 2013 might know.
    If you download an installation disk image (ISO/IMG) of a click-to-run Office 2013 product from office.microsoft.com/myaccount (Account Options:
    Install from a disc > I want to burn a disc), what release level of code do you get? 
    Now that Service Pack 1 is available, do you get a disk image with Service Pack 1 incorporated? 
    Or do you still get the RTM (Release to Manufacturing) level of code?

    Diane, thank you for the reply.
    I was hoping that someone who has downloaded a disk image since SP1 became available would be able to confirm that for a fact.
    I have just found a good description of Click-to-Run on Technet that I didn't know existed.  The link is: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219427(v=office.15)
    The article states:
    "Click-to-Run products that you download and install from Microsoft are up-to-date from the start. You won’t have to download and apply any updates or service packs immediately after you install the Office product."
    This statement is probably true if you click the Install button on office.microsoft.com/myaccount and install "in real-time" over the Internet.  However, I know for a fact that it is not true if you order a backup disk (Account
    Options: Install from a disc > I want to purchase a disc).  All you get is RTM level code (15.0.4420.1017).
    So I still feel uneasy about what release level you get if you download a disk image.  I don't want to download what might be the better part of 1GB of code over the Internet only to discover it is back level.
    Addendum (6 April 2014): I decided to perform an experiment.  I looked at the size of the data on my backup disk which contains RTM level code.  It is 2.04GB.  I then went to office.microsoft.com/myaccount and clicked to download a disk
    image of my Office 2013 product.  The pop-up window that asks me whether I want to Run or Save the file informed me that the size of the file is 2.04GB!!!  I cancelled the download.  I strongly suspect that, if I had continued with the
    download, I would have received the same RTM level code I already have dating back to October 2012.  I think this is awful customer service.  To some extent, I can understand the logistical problems of replacing backup disks lying in warehouses
    waiting to be shipped.  But I cannot understand why disk images on download servers cannot be refreshed quickly.

  • Can you download a 32 bit installer for photoshop elements 12 to install on a 64 bit system (windows 7)

    can you download a 32 bit installer for Photoshop elements 12 to install on a 64 bit system (windows 7). Thanks in advance

    yes, if you follow all 7 steps you can directly download a trial here:  Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 Direct Download Links, Premiere too | ProDesignTools
    and activate with your serial number.
    if you have a problem starting the download, you didn't follow all 7 steps, or your browser does not accept cookies. 
    the most common problem is caused by failing to meticulously follow steps 1,2 and/or 3 (which adds a cookie to your system enabling you to download the correct version from adobe.com). 
    failure to obtain that cookie results in an error page being displayed after clicking a link on prodesigntools.com or initiates the download of an incorrect (eg, current) version.

    How do you download contacts from my Iphone to my macbook pro? Do you have to use icloud?

    You connect the iPhone to the MBP using the supplied cable and set up the iPhone in iTunes to sync your contacts. Posting in the iPhone forums might be a better venue for you.

  • When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.

    When you download iTunes material, does iTunes record the IP used where it is being downloaded to?  I am trying to track a lost/missing IPOD Touch and want to know if they have that data.   It was left on a small street and someone has found it and has been hacking into my account by resetting my password.  They took about 41+ dollars from my account.   I am hoping the IP it was connecting with to download to it was tracked and that I can get that information to figure out where it is located.

    No. From the second link below.
    "Apple does not have a process to track or flag lost or stolen product
    - If you previously turned on the FIndMyiPod feature and location service is on, and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud, sign in, and go to FindMyiPhone. It the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    - Report to police and change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod.
    - Apple will not help

  • How do you download adobe flash player on the Mac?

    How do you download adobe flash player on the mac without it failing? I use to have it and try to upgrade it and now it won't work. I can't even watch any videos on the Internet.

    Adobe no longer supports 10.5 Leopard. You will have to upgrade to 10.6 to use the latest flash.10.5 Leopard was based on Power PC code and was written to be able to run on both Power PC and Intel processors. 10.6 Snow Leopard has completely rewritten code and only runs on Intel Macs. So anything written to run on 10.5  has twice the code needed for one written for 10.6 or newer.
    The 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD is back in the Apple online store. You can get it for $19.99. You will need to be running 10.6.8 to access the App Store to order Lion or Mountain Lion. http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard

  • How can you download premier pro when the icon doesn't exist in cloud?[was:pr]

    how can you download premier pro when the iucon doesent exist in cloud???

    In order to download the software, your computer must meet the system requirements to run the software.
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/system-requirements-premiere-pro.htmlhttp://www.adobe.com/products/premiere/tech-specs.html
    The usual reason for not being able to download is that Premiere Pro (and other video apps such as After Effects) are 64 bit only so they require a 64 bit computer and a 64 bit operating system.
    If you're running a 32 bit computer and operating system then you will not see the Premiere Pro icon since the software will not run on your computer.
