Increase in broadband usage

I have been using BT Infinity 1 since July last year with no problems.
For the last two months I have been warned that I am using more than my allowance of 40G incurring extra charges.
I have no explanation for this.
Is it possible to retrieve my usage stats (as a graph) for the last twelve months from the BT billing platform.

This link may help.
Why is my broadband usage so high?
I don`t think BT keep your usage stats for that long. Its best to check it on a daily basis, using the usage monitor on MyBT.
There are some useful help pages here, for BT Broadband customers only, on my personal website.

  • Incredible increase in broadband usage

    I am on a 40Gb infinity connection. The usage monitor shows "Your average monthly usage is 13.97 GB." which I agree with. As of tonight my usage is reported as "You have used 79.24 GB this month" I have 2 android phones and a Roku connected via wpa2. I am opted in to BT Wifi. Since leaving home on 23rd and returning 26th the Roku and mobile remaining at home have been used for only email and browsing. I've powered down the Roku tonight to rule that out.
    This is a nonsensical increase in the BT recorded usage of my broadband connection. I am already £44.80 down with little doubt it will have clocked up another £5.60 at least when I check tomorrow.
    I'm seeking advice to enable me to take this to BT customer support and in as little time as possible get a refund and action to prevent a recurrence of this spurious usage increase.
    Unfortunately I am going on holiday Saturday 28 so I'm limited in time to do any analysis but still appreciate as much help as anyone has.

    Thanks for the replies so far.
    Dode, I did receive the warning emails on consecutive evenings with another 15GB or so every day after.
    Ajwh, my partners phone doesn't show wifi and mine showed 9.11GB for 1-26 Mar including use away from home.
    Imjolly, great tip, 2.5 days usage showing during the period of increased usage and hub showed 233MB.
    I called in fault on Saturday morning and they said they would be in touch today. They haven't been (rolls eyes).
    I changed my wpa2 passwords and admin passwords before going on holiday and left router on. I wonder what usage BT will report?
    I would still welcome any advice regarding tackling customer services if they attempt to tell me it is my usage. I'm now aware they have had similar problems in the past but have not been 'customer focused' in solving the issue, rather leaving it to us to convince them alongside attempting to sell upgrades. That won't wash with me!

  • Sudden increase in Broadband Usage at end of the m...

    Hi
    I'm hoping someone can comment on my problem. I was comfortably within my 10 GB monthly BB allowance according to the usage meter (I checked every few days) and then suddenly within a couple of days before the end of the month my usage  increased so that I was 8GB over my allowance despite my actual usage not increasing. I wasn't downloading masses of video or music rather just browsing and downloading (as I had been) the odd file. I have queried this with BT but despite responding with a standard letter the only other communication I have received is a letter advising that I would be charged £10-00 for the privilege of exceeding my allowance (correct by the rules!). As I maintain that my internet activity did not increase where did this extra usage come from? I have performed antivirus,malware and registry checks without finding any infection at all. A few months ago a similar event happened when I found myself 1.8 GB over my monthly allowance. Am I missing something obvious?     
    Any help would be very greatfully received.
    Sincerely
    Adge 
    Solved!

    I have spotted this several times although not neccessarily at the end of the month, So much so that I have now taken to logging a spreadsheet with actual usage versus BT monitor usage.
    I have never had a satisfactory reply to any of my queries or requests for data limit refunds, went up a couple of gig one day when everything was off, including the usage monitor!, but I have noticed the issue early enough to strictly limit my usage to keep the end of month figures down.
    It has actually got better in the last couple of months but as far as I can tell the BT monitored usage includes all housekeeping between BT and the BT HUB. Not sure what is going on but recent examples are: Actual Data 270Mb Monitored usage 800Mb; 420Mb vs 1.65G.
    The annoying thing is I paid the year line rental in advance - non refundable and then the problems started occuring so even if I walk I don't get the rental back. 
    So basically don't pay the £10 and ask for documented proof that you actually used that amount of data before you even consider paying 
    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    May I ask how you are measuring the usage yourself ? Is it via the hub stats ? They are prone to being inaccurate, and can reset - even if the "online" time doesn't.
    Also - the online usage monitor is a day in arrears and not real time. To prove that the monitor is faulty, leaving off the equipment one day will not actually show it, it depends exactly when it is off. There is my "3 day check" to prove it.
    Turn off everything before midnight on day one (inclkuding router) . On day two, after 9am or so - use a different connection, e.g. friend, login to the online usage monitor and look at the figures. Makes sure it says 23:59 of day one date - take a screen print. On day 3 after midnight, you can turn on the equipment and again after 9am look at the online usage monitor, make sure it says 23:59 on day 2 and again see the fiigure and take a screen print.
    If there is anything other than a zero increase, there is something wrong. I know a case where the monitor showed almost a 1GB increase, and has not been resolved.
    I believe that the momitor is not actually faulty and recording the usage correctly, however I believe the fault lies elsewhere - possibly more than one person's ID being attached to a monitor database and hence the figures added. I don't know if this has been checked or not. I've mentioned it before, but have had no acknowledgement ...

  • Broadband usage surge

    My average monthly broadband usage is 6MB. In the the last 24 hours I have apparently used 2MB. No iplayer, no films, no skype, no downloading - just an hour or two on on the web checking emails etc. How can I get an explanation?  Many thanks for any advice.

    There have been many threads about sudden increased usage for no apparent reason - BT tell you to change the wireless password as standard.
    I myself had this problem recently https://community.bt.com/t5/Bills-Packages/High-Br​oadband-usage/td-p/1284701
    You will need to keep a daily record of usage per the monitor and what the hub shows as well.
    Ring 0800 111 4567 to say you dispute the usage and hopefully they will say that they will monitor it for a few days - whether they actually do is another matter.
    If your upload has jumped then this is indicative of a virus/malware running which would have to be removed from your system.

  • Broadband usage limits

    Hi guys,
    I am not a happy bunny - previously had unlimited BB with AOL but BT sales advisor assured me that 10gb limit per month was a huge amount and more than enough for our family - he asked about downloading moviees (just occasionally) online wii games (rare) surfing (quite a lot) etc and said we would be fine.
    One week into our BT contract we have used 2.5gb according to the monitor - I have no idea how since we haven't downloaded any movies or used online games. I found a website that asked me to put in my average surfing, downloading etc and it estimated we would use max 7gb per month.
    Is it possible to get a breakdown of our BT usage? I can get itemised bills for mobiles and landlines so surely I should be able to get an idea of downloads/uploads etc?
    thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    We have skype but rarely use it and haven't in the past month. My daughter does access facebook on her blackberry quite a lot but she gets that free in her blackberry deal. You tube - yes I watch the occasional news item that links through to Youtube.
    I gather you can get a broadband usage summary from sky if you request it in writing. Are you saying that it's impossible to get any type of breakdown from BT? How can that be? Could you sell any other product and just expect the consumer to believe your estimate of how much they used? There has to be some way customers can query info they think incorrect?
    In any event, after reading other replies it seems that what has actually happened is that we have been grossly misled by the BT sales guy we spoke to. (He also told us we could carry forward our old email address - which turned out not to be true either).
    We got a promotional price for 6 months and when I called BT, the girl suggested we upgrade to 40gb and it would cost only about £5 per month more BUT she then said since we'd got a promotional deal on the 10gb we would lose that discount so our bb will increase from £13 to £22/23 per month. 
    I seem to recall that the terms included a 30-day period in which we could cancel so unfortunately that looks like the best course of action.  I don't want to have to worry all the time if we use iplayer or download a movie that we're going to exceed our limit - we are a family of 5 and all use internet, emails etc.
    *When I told the BT girl I spoke with about this that I wanted to make a complaint because we'd been misled, she said there is no complaints dept as such and best she could offer would be to put me through to her manager. That didn't sound good either - there must be a customer service dept that deals with issues like this.
    Finally, if someone could tell me how to access the home hub settings to check on usage that would be great.
    I downloaded a program some time back called Netlimiter that was supposed to give you a running check on bb usage but it was a free version that doesn't seem to work on my machine.
    thanks again everyone for the help.

  • BT Broadband Usage Monitor

    I'm trying to keep a daily check on my Broadband usage; reason I overshot my limit last month.
    But looking at the BT BBand Monitor it seems that it is not updated consistently.
    At times the amount used increases but the dates of usage do not change.
    Has anybody else had a problem?
    How can BT use this to penalise excess usage if the system is not exact?

    OK, thanks, got in using "Admin", & have now changed Password !
    Now please what am I looking for & where to give my Broadband usage?
    Just looked at the BBand usage in my Account & the date has now updated
    I have not used this router but I would expect to find the data usage as follows:
    Follow the instructions given in the link I posted earlier as far as step 4 but click on Status instead of System at this point.
    This should give a menu item of Broadband Connection (or similar) that should lead to "(a)dsl connection".
    Amongst other things this should give Data Transferred (sent/received).
    Note these figures and also the Uptime.
    The Data Transferred figures will be rest to zero if the Uptime shows that your adsl connection has been reset.
    If you do this on at least a daily basis you can check your daily usage by subtracting yesterday's reading from the current reading.  If you are getting strange readings you can check usage in real time by refreshing the window.

  • Broadband usage monitor - do you believe what it's...

    Back in June I submitted a post because my broadband usage had shot up (http://community.bt.com/t5/Bills-Packages/BT-Broadband-why-has-my-usage-rocketed/m-p/894000#M25664). Although some of the increased usage could be explained by the use of Skype (now uninstalled and no longer a factor), the high usage continued beyond the removal of Skype.
    There was no obvious explanation for this, but changing the hub security key to more secure one seemed to stop the problem for a while.
    Then last week I got the usual BT email warning me I was likely to go over the limit again! After a long conversation with one of the BT tech support people I reluctantly changed the key back to the default one, but got another email warning this morning to say I'm likely to break my limit.
    If I was a heavy user I'd accept this, but I'm not. The other thing that puzzles me is that the bulk of usage is upload. I might occasionally upload a few photos to Ebay, and maybe a few to Photobucket occasionally, but they are few and far between. This morning the monitor shows Download of 1.25 and upload of 7.59 - just crazy, there is absolutely no way in which I am uploading that volume of data intentionally.
    BT say 'Well or monitor is very accurate', but if that's the case why can't they tell me what I'm being billed for uploading? If it was a gas or electricity bill we'd certainly want a decent explanation if the usage had doubled.
    It's tempting to upgrade - but why should I pay BT more when my monthly usage prior to this problem was between 4 and 5gb a month?
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks for your reply. No, not using Cloud yet (though I have registered for it). Also, and I may be wrong here, but I thought that usage of Cloud did not count towards your BB usage.
    BT even suggested that perhaps someone might have entered the house and reset the hub key to its default setting without our knowledge. Pretty unlikely, besides which I think our inability to log on following such a change might make us suspect something. It's also virtually impossible that a neighbour may be using our hub, as quite apart from the security issue the nearest house is about 40 yards away.
    Most of our online usage is email and general browsing from a single laptop, with antivirus and antispyware software updated at least daily. The laptop gets put into hibernation when not in active use. 
    As a retired IT bloke who has spent more years than I care to think of building and using networked devices it's the fact that neither I nor BT can account for this that bugs me. What bugs me even more is the fact that seemingly I have to just accept BT's word regarding the alleged usage; there is no redress.

  • Broadband usage meter for BT users

    How do I use the broadband usage monitor?
    What information is being displayed?
    The monitor is designed to show you all the usage that has been downloaded and uploaded over your broadband connection for the current month. This will help you to see how much of your monthly usage allowance has been used and how much there is remaining. The monitor only includes usage which counts towards your allowance; traffic from services such as BB talk and the BT Vision video store, is discounted from your total.
    The monitor also helps you to manage your usage by displaying three different views to indicate the current status your usage:
    If the slider is green then, at the last update, you were within your usage allowance.
    If the slider is yellow then, at the last update, you were within your monthly usage allowance but there is a chance you might go over before the end of the month.
    If the slider is red then, at the last update, you had already gone above your usage allowance and you may be subject to charges as outlined in our Fair Usage Policy.
    If you are on an unlimited product then you will never be charged for additional usage. The usage data will be displayed in blue for all customers who have an unlimited monthly usage allowance, subject to the Fair Usage Policy.
    If you are finding that your current usage allowance is not meeting your needs, then you might want to consider upgrading to one of our broadband options with a higher usage allowance. To find out more please see; How can I increase my usage allowance?
    How do I access the usage monitor?
    You can access the usage monitor through your My BT online account at any time. In the product section of My BT there is a 'View my broadband usage' link, click this link to open the usage monitor.
    When is usage information updated?
    The usage displayed on the monitor is scheduled to update every 24 hours. To help you keep track of the updates, the time and date of the last update are displayed on the left hand side of the page.
    What if I have more than one billing account?
    If you have multiple broadband accounts it is important to check that the right account is selected in your My BT page. You can change which account is selected using the drop down list on the homepage.
    Troubleshooting - Why isn't the monitor displaying correctly?
    If you are having problems accessing the monitor it may be because:
    You do not have a My BT account set-up.
    The usage monitor is undergoing maintenance. If this happens we will display a service message informing when the monitor will be available again.
    The service is busy. In the rare event that this happens a service message will be displayed to inform you. Try again at a later time to access the monitor.
    The monitor is not displaying correctly. It may be that you need to adjust your browser settings in order for the monitor to display correctly. Alternatively the device you are using to access the monitor may not be supported. Try accessing the monitor from your PC.
    Summary:
    The usage monitor helps you to manage your usage by showing how much of your monthly usage allowance has been used and how much is remaining each month.
    The monitor is accessed through the My BT online account. You may need to register for this service.
    Usage is updated on the monitor every 24 hours.
    It is important to make sure the correct billing account is selected in My BT to ensure the right usage data is displayed. The telephone number of the broadband line is displayed on the monitor.
    There may be some occasions when the monitor doesn't display correctly, please see the troubleshooting section to address these.

    how do you look at the hub stats? as i would like to know this info. accordibng to bt i've used 52.18gb since 4th november..
    Hi again.
    On my hub 2, type A - log into it, typically http://192.168.1.254/ or http://api.home. The Settings (enter your hub password). Advanced settings/Continue to ..... and click the Broadband link. I'm sure there's a simpler way, but that's how I do it (albeit infrequently). You then get a Data transmitted line giving up/downloads.
    That figure may well contain things like BTVision access, BBTalk and other items that are not included in the overall usage.
    However the hub stats will not be based on the connection time shown above, but possibly on a hub reset. I've not not really checked this, but other folk will know.

  • YouView Broadband usage

    Hi,
    After spending an hour on the phone going round in circles I thought I would try here, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    My Mother has BT Broadband option 1 so has a 10 GB limit, which is enough for all she does.
    She got BT vision installed around the 20th Feb - with the TV Unlimited option.
    She then started using NowTV around the 26th of March.
    Her Broadband usage has suddenly increased
    Feb     - Not over 10 GB limit
    March - 20 GB
    April    - 41 GB
    May     - 40 GB
    Broadband monitor page currently states:
    You have used 42.48 GB this month and your average monthly usage is 7.09 GB.
     You have also used 0.12 GB of YouView but because you have a BT Vision subscription pack this isn't counted against your broadband usage allowance.
    The first time she got an email warning her she was above her usage I didnt worry as I seen the following link which stated there was a problem with the usage monitor and excess usage would not be charged:
    http://bt.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/44084/c/348,1155,6239
    She recently got an email stating they will be charging her an extra £35 for exceding her usage in April, and I imagine there will be another £35 for Mays usage.
    She watches a lof of movies on it, especially NowTV but yet it states she has only used 0.12 GB of YouView!!!!
    Looks a lot like YouView usage is being incorrectly counted and being charged for.
    Any advice would be appreciated,
    Geoff

    & lest there is any doubt this is how the Bt website defines it
    YouView On-demand explainedAs well as Freeview and Catch-up TV, YouView gives you access to great on demand content including BBC iPlayer. Best of all, you no longer need to huddle over your laptop! You can enjoy watching your favourite shows on your TV.
    As well as the standard players which come on your YouView box, you'll get access to BT Vision with thousands of hours of on demand content including Films, TV, Kids, Music and more. In fact, BT Vision has the largest video on demand library on YouView.
    The best part is that providers will continue to add Players to YouView, meaning the content you have access to will continue to grow and change.
    Subscription to Now TV costs extra.

  • Broadband usage has doubled and I don't know why

    Hi there
    Just received a warning message that I am about to exceed my 40gb limit.  Normal monthly usage has been 18gb apparently and we don't know why the increase has occurred.  We have no kids at home, we don't stream films or videos or play games, I've downloaded 1 music album this month and we've surfed the net as usual.
    Can this usage be verified?
    Any tips on checking whther someone else is using our broadband....is this possible?
    Any tips on why this might be happening...it's puzzling.
    Is there an indpependent (non BT) way of monitoring and measuring broadband usage?
    Dom

    Hi dr58.
    In my experience the only way to sort this out is to hope that your post draws the attention of a forum moderator. Anyone on the phones will try and convince you that you are indeed downloading 20 albums a day, uploading 3000 pictures a week etc etc and "it all mounts up" and you would be far better on an Unlimited Package.
    I had problems (in fact thinking about it, this time last year) where my usage had crept up and according to BT my son and I were using 90gb a month, despite no streaming, gaming etc. I am on a 40gb package like yourself so was incurring £50 charges each month. In the end it was resolved with BT agreeing it wasn't possible for us to be getting through that amount but as I wasn't using a BT router at the time it was impossible to prove that someone hadn't been piggybacking my wifi. (I'd changed passwords during the high readings to no avail anyway).
    My personal advice would be to keep a daily eye on your broadband monitor, screenshot them if need be, if you have been out during the day or away for any great length of time also note the readings that appear for that day. I also check my BT homehub to make sure only the devices in my house are hooked in just in case.
    As it happens I've also noticed a big jump in my readings this month, I have just a few GB to spare but in my opinion the readings are still high compared to what I was noting at the tail end of last year after I finally had SeanD look into the matter for me.
    I do hope that the meters arent going up the creek yet again because I've sworn that if it should happen again I'm walking to a different company this time around.
    Best of luck and I hope you get the information you need and the situation resolves itself.

  • Monthly broadband usage -- BT knows, how do I find...

    ok, so I've been forced back to BT's website again. It took 30 seconds for my blood to boil -- why is it such a poor site? The core issue I have is that I always want to communicate with BT via email, NOT via phone. That way I'm on equal terms and I can ponder the response. But finding somewhere to email is extremely difficult -- I always have to complain, when I just want to ask a question.
    Anyway...
    I want to know what my broadband usage is. I used to be able to log on and see. But some muppet has decided that I can no longer do this:
    "Why can't I check my broadband usage any more?
    We don't want our customers wasting time monitoring usage when there's no need to. Having unlimited broadband means you don't need to worry about your internet usage: you won't pay any usage charges no matter how much you use."
    Well I DO want to know what my usage is. I am seriously thinking of moving away from BT. If I know what I am using I know what sort of package I can purchase from a competitor. I also don't want to 'renew' a contract so I'm stuck with BT for another 12 months. As long as BT are in the background they are ok. I've had no problem with the service, but they seem to be getting dearer and dearer. (Line rental saver went up by 13.5% -- Inflation was less that 2% so why the huge hike?)
    Their scheming, conniving business team who are looking at ways to stop me moving away while still screwing me are finally forcing me to do something.
    So can someone please tell me where I can now find my monthly usage? The above response from BT is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
    Now to find a cold shower and calm myself down again...
    grrrrr

  • Very high broadband usage

    The first month we got BT broadband was option 1 the 10GB package, I left my house for 2 weeks and the monitor was at around 6/7GB and with no one in the house and no one with access to it i came back to find it was now at 12GB, thought this was a bit odd...
    Last month we upgraded to option 2 the 40GB package. Ended up watching lots of videos and things and by the end of the month it was at 45GB.
    This month, it's 7 days in and the usage monitor is showing 12.87GB used, I haven't been doing anything other than browsing, no games, no videos, no downloads, nothing...
    This surely cannot be correct and I'm still concerned about the first month when it hadn't been used by any one and it was still racking up the data. 
    One phone call said there was nothing BT could do to check, I think it's a bit odd that I have to pay for usage I haven't even used and for this month that it's so high already and I haven't even done anything! 
    Forgot to say I had a 20GB package a few years back and I practically used to live on my laptop, used to play xbox live for hours each day, watch a lot of videos, and download a hell of a lot of music and videos and I didn't exceed my limit once in 18 months..
    Seems a bit odd to me...

    If this is the first month you have gone over, the £5 for an extra unit of 5GB might be waived.
    For more information visit www.bt.com/broadbandusagepolicy
    The broadband usage monitor is accurate and is updated at 23:59 every night. 
    Uploads are also counted towards your 10GB allowance.
    1) Make sure that you don't have any malware or virus on the computer.
    2) Make sure your private Wifi network is encrypted otherwise other people might be suing it.
    3) Make sure that there isn't a device in that is using the home that you didn't know was using the internet - Smart phones/portible devices can automatically connet to your wifi (if known) and can update software in the background without  you knowing. Some devices will allow phone calls and texts to be recieved over wifi.
    4) there are free usage meters that can be downloaded to see when and what is using the 10GB usage on your computer.

    You have to actually connect to your BT wifi SSID, and not the normal home hub one, to take advantage of this.

  • Will a new router increase my broadband speed in this configuration

    How much (if at all) can I increase my broadband speed by getting a faster router. Here's my config:
    DSL line --> DSL modem --> Lynksys BEFSR41 Router --> Ethernet cat-5 wiring in house --> TimeCapsule WiFi
    The computers using this network are an Intel iMac (10.6), a PowerPC iMac (10.4), and two Intel MacBooks (10.6).
    The modem/router are located in an in-wall distribution box in a utility room. I want to keep the hardwired ethernet available in case the WiFi quits temporarily. The TimeCapsule is in a good location (top shelf bookcase on first floor) for coverage of my 2-story house. In principle could eliminate the Lynksys modem, and use the TC as the primary router, but it would be difficult to physical locate the TC where it could both distribute to the house ethernet and have good radio reception.
    Testing via the hardwire ethernet (using Speakeasy and speedtest.net) shows download and upload speed 1.27Mbps and 0.32Mb/s. My ISP is pacbell.net. I get the same result via my W-Fi. Speedtest.net tells me my result is about 40% of the average for pacbell.net to my zip code 94301.
    I've heard there are much faster routers than the BEFSR41, but I don't know if my internet speed is limited by my current router or by pacbell's DSL service.
    Any insights would be appreciated.

    Will a new router increase my broadband speed
    No...your speed is only going to be as fast as your weekest link, which in your case is the DSL modem and the connection speed package you subsribe to.
