I have a capped (40GB)broadband deal that is ample for my normal needs. However when the twenty-somethings came back for Christmas it went well over my cap and will cost me a tenner or so in extra fees. Not the end of the world but it made me wonder what the effect of their surfing and dipping into clips is on usage. I suspect that if you dip into, say, a dozen five minute clips for only a minute at a time each you actually rack up sixty minutes of usage. Or is it only twelve minutes? I know it's not measured in minutes but the principle is the same in Gb. I feel like the dad in the TV ad turning off the light switches but I don't want to spend out even more on unlimited when it's only an occasional and hopefully avoidable issue.
