"Freeola Unlimited"

I notice Freeola now have a slighter cheaper connection available than the one I am currently on. Is it easy/worth me swapping my connections over to this? (our family has 3 in total and across them it would seem to be a worthwhile saving). I'm just a little bit wary of doing anything with my home connection as I've had issues with it in the past (that strangely seemed to rectify themselves). Its been well behaved for a while now & I don't want to upset it!

I've been meaning to mention this for a while :¬)
On the MyFreeola 'Broadband Usage Details' page is says:

Please note: The broadband usage details shown below are updated once a day

- but I've noticed the details always update throughout the day.

Data usage problem solved.

Currently showing 3.94GB. There might be a delay as your router stats are live updates whereas the stats in MyFreeola are updated around every hour.

I think 'last month' on my previous post must relate to April as they've jumped massively for today's reading. They are way more than my average.

It's also good to know your usage so you can work out if it's possible to switch packages in the future - can be hard to make a decision if you aren't aware of this.

You are correct. I think it is just handy for checking when you connection is being used, keeping an eye on kids net usage, compromised wifi and such.

Eccles, are we correct in assuming that this incorrect data usage recording is not really relevant on an unlimited tariff? Presume no throttling of any kind is implemented if we go over over a certain amount? (or appear to have).

Thanks for that. Those stats look about what I'd expect so I'd imagine you've shifted 2-4GB this month so far. I will raise this with the supplier as there's no point me adding more stats for you if they are wrong.

My router WAN stats.

Download figures for last month/Avg feel about right for me.
