Perfect, thanks. I have often wondered is this like a phone call where if I make a call I pay. If someone calls me it is free, they pay. Or do I pay for both up & down usage? PJ

Internet usage is combined.

Meaning if you have a limit per month, doesn't matter if traffic is up or down, its all combined in total.

Example: Lets say you have 100GB /Month. You may download 80GB + 20GB Upload =100GB. Then again it may be reversed , you download 10GB but upload 80GB =100GB.

1427960 2016-10-28 21:52:00 Damn. I have used 17GB in a month. I wonder what that would cost on a business account.PJ Poppa John (284)

Generally if you have unlimited it can cost slightly more than a limited plan, BUT often the price difference is not that great. If you don't use all of your amount during the month and on a limited plan, then theres no worries :)
