Broad band Use

[Someone-Else]

I now have the answer. Since I changed the wifi password a mobile phone has had to use its data allowance..........and soon ran out. The owner of the phone is.......my other half. She was using it during the day when I am not here downloading all sorts of junk to watch later but she though it was free

I only noticed after a FB post than iPhones automatically have a setting that uses your mobile data allowance when your wifi signal is "weak" it'd used a little bit of my data without me knowing so I've since switched the feature off!!

Yes they sneaked that in as part of the last software update!

Unlimited is the way to go. As soon as BT fibre is switched on in my area I'm upgrading and cancelling my sky sub and going for a kodi type box which I can't have just now due to the limited speed.

Get a sat box instead. Much better than a Kodi box [emoji1360]

Hi,

Bron and I have been on cable for almost 30 years; firstly with NTL and now Virgin Media. I haven't a clue as to what our usage is but it must be huge. We are on unlimited BB 75Mb. I use my desktop a great deal; every day due to rubbish on TV we watch YouTube; I watch YouTube on the desktop and Bron watches lots of old B&W movies plus biographies with YouTube hooked up to the TV from the desktop; I never begrudge paying the Virgin Media bill because we get such good value.

How long before your BT contract runs out s-e?

Kind regards, Col.

You can get the usage from the Super Hub Colin.

Open a browser and enter:

Code: Select all

http://192.168.0.1

when it asks for a username/password, enter what's on the superhub (it's usually admin/changeme) and you may need to enter the WPS pin the first time (also on the superhub). Once in, you can check the usage number there since the last reboot!
