Radio On Line

[murraymints]

Excuse my ignorance ...if I listen to radio on line is this eating heavily into my broadband allowance ? I used to get LBC on DAB ..but no longer...but can get it on line.....

3 hours per day will use (very) roughly 5Gb per month.

Chris is that muchy ?

The answer to that can only depend upon what limit you've got on your downloads. If, for example, it's 10Gb per month, then you'd have to be very careful to keep other big downloads (such as video streaming and iPlayer programmes) to an absolute minimum. If your limit is 50Gb per month it hardly dents it. (I wouldn't even consider using a broadband service that imposes a monthly limit anyway. Unlimited services might be more expensive but they're far less restrictive)

Thanks Chris...I don't really know what I have ...a package for phone and broadband...I'll have to ask !

[murraymints]

Chris I've had a peek on line I have unlimited usage....so guess I'm ok....although it did say something about fair use ?

Your fine, murraymints, with fair use unlimited broadband. Don't give it another thought.

1 HD film download can be as much as 3GB and the fair usage applies to uploads as well.
