Going over 10MB limit

I have been with BT broadband Option 1 (10 MB) since June 2009 and have just received my first notice telling me that my use was over 10 MB in February and that I willl now be charged extra for this. My usage has been no more than usual. I rarely upload music or download films to watch and don't use I-player or YouTube. After receiving a warning on 16th February (I think it was) that I had already used up 7MB, I was even more careful with my usage and reduced the amount of time I was online and kept a daily check. However, at the end of last month, I was 1MB over. I'm not sure how this is worked out by BT or how I can check this myself but I consider myself to be a low user and am unable to understand how I could have gone over 10MB.
Seeing the other comments on here, I am beginning to wonder whether this is a ruse by BT to get people to move to their more expensive options or whether they are linking someone else's usage to my account. Maybe this is a case for Watchdog?
Any advice on how I can verify this or prove my usage to BT would be really helpful please.
Thanks,
Jane

One way of checking your usage is by getting the upload/download information from your HomeHub and monitoring it on at least a daily basis. The following is an extract from another thread that you can read for further information.
http://community.bt.com/t5/Other-BB-Queries/Broadband-usage-OMG/m-p/434143#M16468
The process is not as difficult as it looks:
To monitor your usage with your HomeHub you first have to Login to your HomeHub.
There are various ways to get to your HomeHub but the simplest to describe is
1. Start your Internet Browser (say Internet Explorer)
2Type 192.168.1.254 in the address bar and hit enter.
3. If this is the first time you have done this you will be asked to change the default Admin password of the Hub.
   (Otherwise goto step 5)
The default Admin password is usually written on the Hub or supplied on a card or sticker supplied by BT.
NOTE this is Not the the wireless pin , or key, or password.
4. Make sure you record the new password.
5. Now click on Settings
6. You may be asked to type in your Admin Password.
7. When logged in successfuly click Advanced Settings   (Top Right end of second row)
8. Click "Coninue to advanced settings"
9 Click Broadband (Top left 2nd entry in second row)
10. The Internet entry on the third row should already be selected but if not click it.
11.   Under connection information you should see someting like this
   NOTE here that the data is recorded in GB (Gigabytes) not MB (Megabytes)
12.   IF you want to monitor your usage in detail I suggest you record the following information
date and time of reading, connection time, data transmitted, data received
For convenience I copy parts of my previous post.
There are several things you need to bear in mind.
1. BT usage is measured at midnight only and occasionally skips a night so check the date also.
2. The Home Hub measures usage seperately as up and down so you need to add the figures.
3. The Home Hub reading is accurate at the time of accessing it but will not update unless you refresh the screen.
4. The Home Hub reading measures from the last reconnection time so you need to check what the uptime of the connection is to ensure that a reconnection has not screwed up your reading.
5. The result of all this is that you need to record the readings on at least a daily basis and compare the difference between the two corresponding readings.
6. If you are experiencing unusual readings from the HomeHub you can monitor it on short periods of time (say hourly or less) and correlate with what is going on on connected devices.
7. A list of connected devices can also be got from the HomeHUb.
8. There are other ways of measuring usage per device but your case for proving to BT that their usage meter has got it wrong will be better served by using the advice above.
9. In my experience I have found that the Home Hub and BT usage meter agree and to my knowledge there has been no posts in this community that have posted convincing evidence otherwise in the form of Home Hub readings and BT Usage monitor readings (or any other readings). There has been posts of new account problems that may have been valid but none for existing accounts.

GOING OVER THE LIMIT

I have had the limited "USB" modem for 6 months and all of a sudden last month went over the 5120. Not by much, but I had never even come close to going over before. When I checked daily use on the bill there are several days of higher than my normal use. It didn't take many days of triple and quad to trigger extra charges. The time and sites that I use have not significantly changed.
Now, someone tells me that my computer can be running things in the background that I don't even know about. Someone also mentioned that the little light on the front of my laptop flashes when info is being received.
Can someone tell me what the heck is happening and how I can stop it.

About Three or Four months I started going over the "data usage limit" I have canged nothing in my habits and some how my data usage has nearly tripled. I had 200 to 300 dollar bill. Anyone else had the problem with this. Something is funny!!
Try to call everyday to verizon and check your data usage, keep in mind that Verizon has a 72 hour delay on some data usage and if your roaming it can be up to 30 day delay. Also if your going to go over everymonth you might want to look into Virgin Mobil they are unlimited for $49.99 or get another Verizon Wireless Modem. It is better to $120 a month and have 10GB to play with than to get a bill for $300...

Going over Data limit for the first time?

We have never even gone close to the limit and all of sudden we're over! (1 phone, Mini Droid) I am on WIFI all day, no changes in apps or usage! What else can be going on? Sounds like this is happening to a lot of people too? I turned off the Mobile Data on my phone, and now it's not even connecting to my WIFI though?

I activated my new iPhone on November 7 at about 1 AM. I then plugged it in, made sure it was on Wi-Fi, and went to bed. When I woke up, I had data overage alerts. My Verizon said that I had magically used over 7 GB overnight. However, if I go to settings and then to cellular data, the amount of data used total was only several hundred megabytes. I called Verizon last night and explained the situation. They upgraded me to a 10 GB plan at no additional charge for the remainder of my pay period (5 days). They also talked to me about things like closing all of my apps immediately after I finish using them and anytime I'm on Wi-Fi making sure I turn cellular data off. I told him that I have had an iPhone for years and have never had to do any of those things. I never have used more then two gigs a month in my whole history of having an iPhone. The representative assured me there was probably some weird glitch so I went to bed last night, after making sure I was on Wi-Fi and plugging in my phone.I checked my usage on my Verizon, and it was it zero gigs before I went to bed. I plugged in my phone turned on the Wi-Fi and went to bed. When I woke up this morning my phone usage on my Verizon showed I had used more than five gigs of data last night. However, again when I go to settings and then to cellular data. My phone only shows I've used several hundred megabytes total since I activated it. I called Verizon support again this morning, and the representative was nice but not very helpful. She did assure me that I wasn't going to be responsible for overage charges, But I am concerned because my phone magically used half of the 10 GB plan last night. I have to have my phone because I'm on call for work, and I'm traveling. The representative suggested that I turn my phone off and turn it back on again. I did that, but I am not very convinced that that is going to solve any problem. I did get her to say on the phone that it was Verizon's problem and not my problem. She assured me that they are working to get this issue solved.
My iPhone is the only device on my plan. Could someone be stealing my data somehow?

Will I get charged for going over the CC limit?

I have a CC that I just basically maxed out without going over the limit but was real close. I want to know if when they calculate the interests on the debt with that put me over the limit on the card which will then trigger them to charge me a fee for going over the limit? I know I should not do this but I have a check coming in a couple of months that will clear the debt completely so no worries there. Thanks in advance

It depends on the terms on the card. Most of them have an over the limit fee. The will charge interest on your statement date which is usually a couple days after your due date. I would pay as much as I can by the due date. No, since the CARD act, they DON'T have over the limit fees, unless you opt in. (If you don't, charges over the CL can be denied). So you should be fine.Sorry to give out wrong info. I think I'll stop posting from now on. There is absolutely no reason for you to stop posting. We all have once upon a time posted wrong info so there isn't any shame in doing so. The point of the forum is to learn and not everyone is aware of the provisions of the Card Act, myself included.

Will Going Over The Credit Limit One Time Hurt Score Long Term?

I have a flexible spending Chase Sapphire preferred card that has a limit of $7000. I don't know when, but according to my credit report it shows that my high balance at one point in time was at $11k - I'm guessing this was several several months ago if not over a year. I don't ever keep my balance that high, and I'm sure it was only at that balance for 24-48 hours, and Chase just happened to report to the CB's the day the balance was that high (lucky me). Currently my balance is really low , around $150. I usually keep the balance at less than $500 at any one time (and if it goes over that, I pay it down several times a month just in case). Anyway, my lender told me that if I raised my credit limit to around $15k (or at least higher than the $11k balance it had at one time), it would raise my score considerably because it would show that I never went above the limit. So I called Chase, and luckily I was able to get the limit raised to about $13k. I was pre-approved for it, so they did not need to run my credit (good news I guess). My question is - should I expect a score increase just because the one time high blaance of $11k is now under my new $13k limit (instead of over the $7k limit it had). I thought I knew a lot about how credit scores worked, but this is new to me. Is the lender blowing smoke or is this actually a normal thing to expect? Thx

CH-7-Rebuilding wrote:
Do you see that smoke in the air? Yep, your lender has no idea what they are talking about. Lots of people have signature cards that have, say, a 5K limit, and might have a 20K high credit. That is what a signature card is for! You just have to pay off the amount over the credit limit when the bill comes in. That high credit amount above the limit had no effect on your FICO score. The raising of the limit might impact your score if it lowers your current utilization, but otherwise it should not matter as far as FICO. It will help getting higher limits with other lenders, though. bingo! many of us move limits or have been CLD during the crunch and have "high balance" many times greater than our CL. lender is a dummy.

Anyone going over their Data now that they have a Samsung S5?

I just recently (3 weeks) purchased a Samsung S5 and it shows I am using Data when I am positive I am connected to WIFI (such as I am at home and I know our WIFI is working). We're going over our data limit for the first time ever. It even shows data usage this morning while I was at home and again...the wifi is working at home. Anyone have any answers?

Go into Settings ... Data Usage, and look at your Mobile data and wifi usage. Which apps are using the mobile data?
We have 4 lines on our family plan, and over the years have had several smartphones (iPhones, Blackberry, Android and Windows phones, various models). Only once did I see a data "spike", when my daughter first got her iPhone 5C. It was gobbling data, till she went into her app list and shut off the data for lots of things.
Whenever we get a new (smart) phone, I typically don't activate it until I have used wifi to download all my apps and get my email hooked up. Once it all works on wifi, then I'll activate the new phone. I make sure my apps are set to update over wifi only (it may be a setting within each app), and my photos are backing up over wifi only. Facebook now auto plays videos, and you need to change the setting to play videos on wifi only. Same with email - set it to down load attachments over wifi only.
There are lots of ways data your device can use data; finding out which apps and what processes are the culprits (by looking at the data usage on the phone) can help you to use your data allotment most effectively.

Over 10mb issue

Hello,
trying to download a app but its says i have to connect to a wifi because its over 10mb? whys that? i have internet on my iphone why wont it download it using that connection?

This is a limit placed on the iPhone by Apple/AT&T and there is no way to get aroudn it except to download it over WiFi on the phone or at home on the computer.
For music, there is a 12MB size limit per track.

We have just gone over our limit for data usage this month. Is it possible to add data just for this month?

YES. YOU GOING TO DO A PLAN CHANGE. WHEN IT GIES YOU DATE OPTIONS YOUR GOING TO BACK DATE IT TO BEGINING OF CYCLE. ONCE THAT GOES THROUGH DO ANOTHER PLAN CHANGE BACK TO IRIGINAL PLAN AND FUTURE DATE TO BEGINIGN OF NEXT BILL CYCLE. THIS ALL CAN BE DONE ON MY VERIZON OR IF YOU FEEL SAFER CALL CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY CAN DO THSI FOR YOU

Why is my line all of a sudden going over data usage?

@Please excuse my ignorance, but all of a sudden, my line is the one going over the data usage limit and I don't understand why, aside from using Facebook, which I've been using all along.   I would have thought the overage would be due to my son.
I don't think I'm doing anything different.
I also find the plans to be confusing. I thought with the new Edge plan, I would be saving money, but I'm not.
I'm paying way too much for a phone plan, even with my discount.
What the heck am I doing wrong?   Do I need to sign out of facebook each time or is there a way to clear it?????
I don't know.....I'm working too hard to deal with this crap.

    We want you to always get the most out of your data, Loreal65! What type of device do you have? Login via http://www.vzw.com/datautilization for an excellent new tool to get an idea of where your usage has been going! May I ask what exact plan are you on? How many lines do you have and how many are on Edge?

Got charged for going over in Texts even though I only used 3000/5000

At the end of last month, I started texting a lot more than normal. Knowing that I had the 500 text plan I figured it would be a good idea to bump it up to the 5000 text plan on 7/31 figuring that they would just charge the extra $10 to my bill and I would be OK since when I got this phone the sales lady said that if I noticed that I was going to exceed the limit I could just change to the higher plans whenever I want.
Turns out that while I can switch to the new plan, instead of charging me $10 more they refunded me $2.90, from the 500 text plan, and charged me $5.80 for the new plan at a Pro-rated price. Normally this would be OK but when I looked at the bill it went from normally $90-100 for the 700 Family Share Plan with 500 texts on the main line and an extra line to around $225. They had, by Pro-rating both the return and the new plan, caused me to go over in texts adding an additional $91 to my account.
Since they Pro-rated the 500 text plan via the return and still applied that texting limit through 7/30 I was given 371 texts for that period which I ended up using 623, going over by 252 charging me $25.20. Also with the pro-rated 5000 text plan I was given 1452 used 2110 going over by 658 charging me $65.80 for a total of $91 in charges that should have been $10 for the upgrade for the entire month from 500 to 5000 texts.
I have emailed Verizon and in a few minutes I am planning on calling and filing a complaint to try and get this rectified, any ideas would be helpful.

In the future, either change your plan on the date that your billing cycle begins or call into CS and ask them to either A) schedule the change for the first day of your billing cycle or B) backdate the plan to the start of the current billing cycle. Those are the only methods to avoid pro-rated charges. If you complain, Verizon may refund up to 50% of the overages you incurred, but since you made the plan change without asking for backdating, you agreed to the pro-rating. There's really not a whole lot Verizon is going to do for you.

I want to know how to get the web addresses to go away that appear in the bottom left corner of the browser every time my mouse goes over a link

Any time that my mouse goes over a link on a web page a little box in the bottom left corner of the browser pops up showing the web address for that link and it is really annoying, especially when i am on facebook because there are so many links on the home page i cant move my mouse anywhere without that box popping up and blocking part of my conversations. I was wondering if there was any way to turn this off. I've checked through the options and to my knowledge there is no way to turn it off. Just wondered if anyone else has had this problem or knew if there was a way to get that box to go away.

Another option would be to use the following extension to push those messages into the status bar. It could be a convenient way to have your messages visible when you want them, but with less distraction.

Hi Vijay,
Can you tell us the interface name?

You need to enter the Business Process, Order Assignment and Mode Of Postprocessing Order and then execute.
It will show you all the messages stuck in application error for that interface and if you double click on any one of them you will get to see the detailed error with options to Discard, Repeat etc.

Why is the text going over the image????

Please refer to video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rN6Ndm9sFo&feature=youtu.b
Why is the text going over the image when the text layer is below the image layer?? It is so frustrating.

Are you sending the texts to his phone number or his Apple ID? It might be that the texts originated from your phone is to his Apple ID and not his phone number and his Apple ID was not registered for the Message app on his phone. So any texts to his Apple ID is not received by his phone.
Can you receive his texts? If yes, then reply back from what he send you and see if he can receive the texts.

Satellite C660 - Touchpad highlighting everything it goes over

I have a problem with my Satellite C660 with the Synaptics touchpad V7.2 sensitivity. The cursor keeps highlighting everything it goes over and dragging the files or programmes or opening them.
It's driving me mad and restoring it to a previous date doesn't stop it, nor does clicking the tapping function off in the Synaptics properties box or reverting to default.
Anyone out there able to help?

Hi
Try to install the Synaptics latest driver from the Synaptics driver page:
http://www.synaptics.com/en/drivers.php
Furthermore you can adjust the touchpad settings in control panel -> mouse -> device settings -> settings button
Here you would find lot of different options which would improve the touchpad functionality.
