As some broadband packages offer unlimited access they come with a fair usage policy. This basically means that those who download excessive amounts of content may be capped, so as to not adversely affect other users. The user who downloads what is considered to be an above average amount of data will receive an e-mail suggesting that their usage be curbed. One of the biggest drains on broadband usage is the BBCi player, which is becoming ever more popular.

If you have a broadband package that only offers limited access then you should keep yourself aware of how much is used. There shouldn’t be a problem if you keep track of usage before each payment goes out, details of which can usually be found on the broadband provider’s website.

Connecting to the Internet can also be achieved wirelessly, with the use of a dongle, which is simply a USB device that connects to a computer and provides the user with mobile Internet access. The actual amount of access depends on the size of the dongle. Problems could arise when using a dongle with a wireless router, which is designed to enable more than one computer to connect to the Internet at any one time. This is fine if the dongle has a decent storage capacity, for instance one with a storage space of 15Gb. However, you will still have to make fairly regular checks on usage, for your own peace of mind.
