YouView and broadband usage...?

Now that the 'Catch Up' TV services (iPlayer, 4OD, etc...) are not in the BT Vision section of the new YouView box, does using them now count toward my Broadband usage?  It didnt count with the BT Vision box, but I cant find a reference anywhere to whether this has now changed.

"YouView is also available with any of our great BT Broadband or BT Infinity packages and with a BT Vision subscription all your on demand viewing (not just BT Vision programmes) is exempt from any broadband usage allowance - so you don't need to worry how much you watch."
So if you get a BT Vision subscription, even their £4 per month offering, then your YouView usage won't be counted against your broadband usage.

  • Skype and broadband usage.

    Having read several discussions about the data usage monitor and actual usage I am gratefully more informed.
    The most important piece of information was that usage is an addition of both the incoming and outgoing data stream.
    However, what I need to understand relates to BT’s explanation of activity types on its help page. Where does a Skype video call sit and how does it compare to an audio conversation only?
    Also, is it a fair assumption that any video (BBC web site video news reports etc.) use up a prodigious amount of the quota?
    Solved!

    Do you know if Skype video, audio and screen sharing differ substantially in their byte usage?
    I am a distance learner student and need to discuss and share study material with team mates, so there should be / needs to be a lot of sharing. I am trying to work out how quota expensive that is and whether or not the 10GB that I currently have will suffice.
    Upgrading from 10GB to 40GB is not Broadband expensive at an extra £2 per month, but the hidden cost is the loss of the free telephone calls during the week, Upgrading to BT Total Broadband Option 3 at £28 per month would kill the finances. I find a need to eat occasionally.

  • 'Youview' and Broadband.....................

    For the first time, I have been charged on broadband for my 'youview' usage.
    I've done nothing apart from record and view programmes, so why now?

    I assume you have an account with BT for the youview?

  • Windows 10 Updates and broadband usage HEADS -UP on how to manage it

    Not sure where to put this so putting it here. So, WIndows 10 updates are delivered by a technology that is similar to distribution by bittorrent, WUDO  "Windows Update Delivery Optimization"  It's turned on by default once you install/upgrade to Windows 10. In my case, it's not a biigie, as I doubt I wil ever go over my data allocation. I don't know (and non-one does at the moment) what sort of impact it will have, so we can only guess. So, you can turn it off if you are concerned that uploads will affect your data too much, but it's not easy to find ight out of the box. Go to Setting, Update & Security:   Select Advanced Options: Select "Choose ow updates are delivered" : OK, CHOOSE CAREFULLY.  I've left WUDO "on" in the above screendump, and have no problem with updates to other PC's on my LAN, so it's all good and it means the PC's in my house will be better served, and probably get less of a download from the internet.  If you select the second radio button option,  you WILL be sending packets to other PC's on the Internet. So, if you are concerned about your data usage,  just check there. (BTW, Edge doesn't work 100% of the time on CrowdSupport - you cannot insert images, for instance)  

    I've recently downloaded 4.0 beta. Works much better than the
    patched 3.6.10 which becomes unusable. I have loaded up the
    4.0 Beta browser with the same number of Windows and Tabs
    which could reproduce the original problem. Viewing under the
    Mac OS Activity Monitor while there might still be a memory
    leak, I believe that the largest problem seems to be a thread
    that has taken over the CPU(s) and not relinquishing control.
    When the problem would occur the CPU Usage would go over
    100% with the 4.0 Beta it is only at 12%. Memory usage ranges
    from over 1 GB with 3.6.10 to 650 MB with the 4.0 Beta. I did
    clear out my download list and the browsing content could account
    for the differences in memory usage. Hope that this helps.

  • BROADBAND USAGE WITH YOUVIEW??

    Does anyone know if YouView counts towards your broadband usage? BT Vision didn't but I hear that You View can rack up your monthly usage. Not mention on website of course?

    Hi Sjf9712,
    If you have to YouView through BT then no need to worry about your BT Broadband usage allowance - all BT Vision and YouView On Demand and Catch Up TV is exempt from your usage.
    Thanks

  • 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.

  • Unusually high broadband usage over March and Apri...

    Have others noticed that they appear to have used far more of their monthly broadband allowance in the last two months? My 'alleged' usage was quadruple my usual but on Friday when I called the billing team they didn't want to know and weren't particularly helpful. However I persistedwith the BT technical team on Sunday and they admitted that they had been receiving an unusually high level of calls from customers complaining about seemingly high usage. They were informing the billing team of the problem so I will continue to chase them this week. Apparently there was some issue with the usage monitor giving out incorrect information so it might be worth people challenging the billing team if they think the same thing has happened to them.

    *** please ignore this as I am still having the same issue even without Skype
    I've been checking my usage monitor since I installed it this morning and couldn't undestand what these huge red spikes in download activity were every few seconds and my usage was going up and up.
    Looking on the internet for solutions I saw lots of mentions about Skype, which I have but have only used once or twice a couple of months ago.  Oh, but wait a minute, that was when my usage skyrocketed.  And guess what.. I just uninstalled it and now the huge red spikes are no more on my monitor!
    I have no idea of the why and how but even though my Skype was not open it was doing something over the internet and something very big.
    So if you have the same issue and you have some kind of video calling software installed it may be worth uninstalling it just to check.

  • Broadband usage high and jumping in usage

    Hi
    I've been with BT for 6 years at my current address and I had this exact problem back in 2014. It is now happening again. - It turned out my on Demand service was being counted to my broadband usage!!
    I took up Netflix (as the On Demand servcies being withdrawn) on the 5th of May, I received the You View box on the 8th May and set it up over that weekend. Sine then my usage has jumped, but I  had not realised this until I received an email to say I'd used 6GB of my 10GB allowance.
    I checked the usage monitor on 22nd May and my usage was 6.77GB. I telephoned on the 24th May as my usage was showing 7.11GB. I have changed my wireless password and have done everything BT has asked. This morning 6.30am I checked my usage and it showed 9.5GB used! As I've had to come to work I have not been able to telephone you. I've just logged into my account (10.50am) and my uasage is now 10.36GB!!
    My average usage is about 3.25GB p/mnth. Nothing has changed except for the new You view box and this weekends usage is impossible! We were away from the house during the day coming home in the evening, only watching some Netflix. It is just myself and my partner. My PC has been turned off since Thursday and my Chrome book was turned on, on Sunday Morning to change my wireless password, then off again. Our mobiles connect to the BT wifi hot spot and not our hub.
    I am hoping your going to tell me that something similar is happening and you (BT) are going to fix this and reverse all charges as  I have received an email to say I am now going to be charged for this excessive use. Please help as this is very worrying!

    I have started with the BT you view box a few months ago and have taken on Netflix with BT when I took on the contract. Since then my broadband usage has rocketed and is going way over my 20gb usage allowance. However I am not using my laptop or other devices much and in fact less than I have done for some time. The only reason for this must be that the netfix usage is being added to my general broadband usage. In some cases this was adding on 2 and 3 gb per day when no other devices were being used at all . BT had promised to call me and had even sent me a text telling me when the call was coming ....but it didnt happen.  I have now done an experiment for the first week in June were I have not used the you view for netflixs or on demand at all but continued to use my laptop for emailing etc as per normal. this has shown my usage as only 0.23gb. Clearly there is something wrong and the you view box usage is 'leaking' and being counted in my general broadband usage. I am very unhappy about this as I was sold the benefits of using the you view box on demand services and netflix on the basis that its usage did not count towards my bills. I have never had netflix before so there isnt any confusion about it previously being used by me. Niether have I used it on any other device ....its all been through my BT box .....and I dont want to be charged for it. If any of the ondemand and netflix is being put onto my broadband I was obviously miss sold the device in the first place. Whenever I call the customer service helpline I get different answers and am told that someone will call me back ...they never do ...check your CS phone tapes of my calls and you will see. 
    looking at the community forum I can see that I am far from unique with this problem .
    Can someone call or communicate with me to solve this asap it is of great concern to me. 

  • Broadband Usage and speed problems.

    Hi.
    I have question about broadband usage.
    Its 11 days and bt website says I used more then 20GB!
    Its nearly 1.8 GB per day! I used Internet for browsing website and receive one email pre day, I download twice large amount (about 1-1,5GB) and nothing more!
    I just wonder what going on? I try monitor my usage day by day from 5 days ago and its worst and worst!!!
    I nothing download but my usage going very fast.
    Its looks like I will be download about 3 movies per day that means I will have now more then 30 movies! Its must be something wrong!
    I used before VM and my average Internet usage was about 15-20GB per Month with solid 10MB speed.
    Now my speed is **bleep** from 8mb to 1mb and sometimes less then 512kb!!! And usage is higher !!!
    How can I see details about my usage?
    And q2
    About speed - in my area BT Infinity will be available from 31.12.2010
    Its mean still BT have same works, it might be cause my slow broadband?
    And from 25.11 till now is same problem with broadband, in three days I must reset BT Hub because there is no Internet. On BT Hub anything looks fine, Is IP address etc... But is no Internet telephone and no Internet as well.
    I check by used ping bbc.co.uk

    Hi.
    I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions, this may help to determine why your usage is as high as you're seeing.
    Do you have more than one computer connected ? Do you use iPlayer, or watch lots of youtube stuff ? Do you have any games machines such as XBox connected to the Internet ?
    Are you uploading lots of things ? uploads count as well as downloads.
    Are you up to date with all security and anti-virus packages, and have you run any scans recently ? (sometimes viruses and trojans can cause a usage problem).
    Your inherent speed problem could be due to various reasons, for example worsening line conditions due to weather and general wear and tear. Strangely viruses can cause a noticeable slow down, but mainly due to the computer being infected rather than the line being slow.
    Can you posssibly post the hub stats ?
    If you're using a PC, download something like Networx usage monitor and see if that can help. Of course it needs to be on each PC, but can't see the usage of games machines or Internet TV (or iPhone use etc).
    I used only 2 machines. Desktop PC and laptop. Laptop very light, just 1-2 hours per day only websurfing (3-5 websites with no movie or high quality images, 90% is just plain text)
    I not download lots of stuff, Like I just say, in VM my average monthly usage was 15-20 GB and I download few movie and lots of music.
    In December I just download one movie other traffic is just webserfing email.
    Youtube - yes I watch, but its not new staff for me, like just say my usage is not deferent then was in VM!
    Now usage monitor on BT web site say I used more then 20GB! in 11 days!!! if one movie will be 0.7GB its means I download about 30 movies!
    Its massive! I never download 30 movies in 2-3 months )
    This start about 5 days ago, when my strip goes to orange. My average Internet usage is 1.8GB !!! Even I for 2 days used Internet very little.
    I nothing upload.
    It is not possible, to anny worm or viruses used so big bandusuage if any software used Internet connection in background (like systems) its just kilobits not gigabits!
    If I will be use very hardly Internet I will be no rise alarm. But I now what I used. I have Internet for more then 7 years and now how far I go.
    And now is very strange - I less used inherent I have more GB used!
    In my calculation if my average usage per day will be 1.8GB I will used 55GB!!! I never used more 20 - max 30GB! It must be something wrong on BT site.
    I get BT Broadband option 2 be cause, I now I used about 15-20GB per months and BT Broadband option 1 is not for me, but 20GB in 11 days!
    We not talk abut 100MB! or 500MB per day we talk about nearly 2GB per day! Its massive!
    Is any chance to get detail Internet usage?
    Q2
    I loose Internet connection 3 times per week, so I need push reset button on hub.
    I left once Hub with no reset but in 5 hours it will still no Internet.
    Its looking very strange, because anything looks OK except I loos Internet phone (no blue telephone light)
    In hub stats is IP, is Downstream etc... but when I ping bbc.co.uk it say: host unavailable or similar.
    After reset working well. My be my Hub is faulty?

  • Broadband usage and BTFON

    My broadband usage was a fairly steady 7.5GB a month - at least, that's what the usage monitor says.
    In July this year I apparently went over my 10GB limit.  Not having monitored my usage, I didn't think much about it.
    Then in August it went over again, despite no-one having been home to use it for 10 days of that month.
    So from September 1st, I started checking it daily.  By September 12th, I had used 2.58GB.  On September 13th that went up to 5.52GB despite no-one being home for most of that day, and in the short time I was home, I certainly didn't download or upload any video or other large files.  The last couple of days my usage has been low again, despite streaming a 30 minute video.
    We signed up to BTFON, so I'm wondering if someone could have hooked onto our system and used it that way?  Are we paying for someone else's use with BTFON?  I think I've only used BTFON or BTOpenzone a couple of times at airports when I've been travelling, and not really thought about how it is paid for.
    Some clarification would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Geez, that took some negotiation and navigation, I was going round in circles, not seeing anything helpful for a while.  But I did find it eventually.

    Hi. Welcome to the forums.
    Make a note of the hub stats at the same time each day so that a difference can be worked out (typically before retiring for the night). Keep a separate figure for up/down numbers. Make a note of the date.
    The online stats can then be compared (as a difference) - but make a note of the date/time of the reading as this is typically updated in the afternoon for usage up to 23:59 the previous day.
    So to compare correctly, use the relevant dates.
    The hub stats could actually reset, either due to a reboot, power outage etc - hence the difference figures are the ones to use.
    The hub stats in theory should always be higher than the online figures, because the hub stats include BTFon, BTVision, BTCloud and BBTalk. These items are excluded from the onlne stats (hence the delay to present those figures). Of course, if no-one has used any of the services, then the figures should be very close.
    You only need to have 3 or 4 days of comparisons to see if something is awry.
    Please can you post back at the end of the week with any findings ?

  • 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.

  • Broadband Usage and Alert Emails

    I am losing the will to live, just noticed that my Direct Debit for BT has come out of my bank account and is twice the normal amount. Logged in to view bill on line and although have a 40gb monthly broadband usage have been charged for going over by 41gb! average monthly usage is 18gb! Haven't done anything different, don't understand why this is so high. Apparently email alerts have been sent to my bt email address hat I have never used and an old work email address for a job that I left over a year ago. Can't find anywhere that shows how and when my 71gb of usage has been derived at or anywhere to change my email alert address. What is even more interesting is that my bt account alert email address is current but no emails have ever been sent regarding broadband! Not happy.

  • Broadband usage IMPOSSIBLE!

    Hi all, i'm a new customer to BT having signed up to an Infinity 1 & TV package from 17.06.14.
    I am after a bit of feedback to an issue which has become apparaent from the outset of my service connection, and which i'm getting exceedingly concerned about spiralling costs being applied to my account and getting absolutely NO help whatsoever from BT to track down the cause.
    Within 7 days of connection, I had my first email warning that braodband useage had already reached 28GB and was at risk of exceeding my 40GB / month usage cap.
    For the record, I had transferred my service from Virgin Media after 5yrs and 3 months of 10GB / Mnth cap where we had never once exceeded this limit.
    Nothing in our household has changed since BT was introduced into the equation, other than new BT equipment has been installed in place of the old router and a new Youview box installed in position for our last Youview box.
    We have not changed our internet usage or TV viewing habits, or done anything out of the ordinary that we know of that could cause this issue, and yet according to BT our household has apparently started using the broadband service not just four fold comapred to previous, but 14-fold based on the information from their usage monitor that apparently we got through 65.5GB in 14 days to the end of June!
    I contacted BT about the issue of the first warning (24.06.14) and questioned the accuracy of the usage information, and all I was repeatedly told was that if the usage monitor says its been used, its been used, and it's never wrong.
    B
    T said they would keep an eye on the usage from 24.06.14 - 30.06.14 and report back to me with their findings.
    Not surprisingly, nothing happened, and no call back as promised.
    Now we have turned a new month I checked the usage monitor on 07.07.14 to find that it was already showing 39GB used in 7 days!
    Again, I have called to register my concern with their information being spurious and again got quoted 'its never wrong'.
    Has anyone had a similar experience and if so how did it get resolved?
    One other item of information that may help : from my last conversation with tech support last night, they interrogated my hub to find out what was currently connected to the hub, only for them to list out at least half a dozen devices which weren't in the house or even near it at the time, but were still showing as connected via wi-fi to the hub .......can this be the connected to the issue?
    Any advice or information, techy or not would be gladly welcomed.

    Hi,
    I am new to BT as well (from 08/05/2014) and am experiencing the same problem on an Inifinity 1 package with 40GB monthly allowance.  Apparently between 1st and 8th July 2014 (according to the BT Broadband Usage Monitor webpage) I have managed to use 39.87GB of my 40GB allowance.
    Note: in my last seven years of broadband usage (with O2) I have never used more than between e.g. 10 to 14GB per month.  I do not have any gaming devices, no sky TV etc and have not (since June) streamed any movies, watched iPlayer or TV on demand, downloaded music on iTunes etc.  Nothing has changed in my usage which would account for this.
    Since Sunday 6th July, I have spent nearly 3 hours on the phone with 'technical' support to try and resolve the problem.  They have confirmed that I do not have a crossed line (via swtiching the hub off).  After many hours of wrangling between 'techincal' and 'accounts', 'technical' have now opened a case and are due to report back on the 14th July.  They are also sending me a new home hub.  I suspect they will not find a problem and the new hub will make no difference.
    The most interesting thing is this: on Monday night (7th July) I disabled the 2.4GHz, 5GHz and WPS wireless on the home hub.  Also note that I have no LAN/USB cables connected to the home hub.  No wireless + no cables = no usage (?).  I checked the usage monitor webpage at 9.30am on 8th July, for the 23.59 usage figure for the 7th July: this was 32.6GB. I did not use the home hub on the 8th July, but left it switched on (with no wireless and no cables).  I then checked the usage monitor again this morning (9th July), for the 23.59 usage figure for the 8th July: this was 39.87GB....
    ...somehow without any access to the home hub I managed to use c. 7GB of data in a day.  I queried this figure with BT this morning.  They told me that the 39.87GB figure on the webpage was incorrect and that the correct figure was 32GB.  I have just checked the usage monitor webpage and it is still showing 39.87GB (?!).  [Note this figure is all download with no upload whatsoever.]
    It is possible to log in to the home hub via FON ("BTWiFi-with-FON" + your email/password).  I have been told (by everyone at BT I have spoken to) that using FON does not count towards the personal monthly usage (40GB).  Perhaps (as a test which will still allow internet access) you can disable your homehub wireless (advanced settings) and use your home hub via FON and check your usage for the day.  With everything disabled and access via FON, your usage should be zero.
    Interestingly, I have been told by 3 people in 'techincal' and 4 in 'accounts' that I should look to upgrade my package to 'unlimited usage'.  I have refused to do this because I do not need it and do not wish to spend any more on broadband.  I also note that BT have withdrawn the '40GB' usage allowance from every package now on their product listing; it's either '20GB' or 'unlimited'.
    Happy to discuss further as it would appear we have exactly the same issue....
