I would suggest you download a free MONITOR which will keep an exact check on what you are really using. I have already proved that the stats that they seem to be acquiring bare no resemblance to what you actually use. This is some of what happens. 1 The SKY router is constantly sending bit rate between itself and the Sky server using up your monthly allowance without being on the internet. I have now stopped this happening 2. If you use SKY as your home page it will again send bit rate even when you open an existing email ATTACHEMENT Suggest you choose a different HOME PAGE. 3. In the last instance of a family member the SKY USAGE TOOL was saying he has used 11GB in the last month, and in two days he had used some 1.55gb, GUESS WHAT HE IS NOT ON LINE AS HE CANNOT GET CONNECTED and this has been the case all over Christmas 2009. 4.In my particular case SKY Usage tool has me as using 1/2gb in two days I have not been online MY OWN ON BOARD COMPUTER MONITOR which monitors all the traffic going in and out of the SKY router shows I HAVE USED 50mb as of this moment 28 Dec 2009. I think you will guess from these brief stats SKY IS MANIPULATING STATS to enable them to push you up to another BROADBAND package until they eventually get most paying for the UNLIMITED PACKAGE. TIME TO SPREAD THE WORD AND FIGHT BACK, move to another provider and if you are troubled by cancelling the SKY TV Package. SKY have to provide access to FREESAT using the SKY BOXES this can be obtained with out paying for a new BOX just get the appropriate card from SKY for one off payment of £20 phone 08448244400. Its time SKY WAS BROUGHT BACK DOWN TO EARTH they may then respect the customers who pay their wages.
