Full Fibre switch anxiety

1TB ain't much nowadays, what is that 3-4Mbps avg?

Average household on FTTP is at about 5 Mbps at peak times with monthly usage sub-600 GB/month so a TB a month is not as small an amount as you'd think. Think we hover around a TB a month here.

BT have kindly given a figure for their entire customer base.

On top of that, the operator now reports that their consumers gobble an average of 389 GigaBytes (GB) of data per month (up from 364.6GB).

So, yes, a TB a month is a fair amount still and if the above is a mean not a median it's even more with 10 TB a month users really, really dragging it up higher :)

Presumably they only measure / care about the download and not upload? Unlike ay the mobile ops that count everything up and down

I think they are quoting up and down: they certainly record both. This is a PR number so the higher the better.

For the purposes of capping bandwidth or billing upstream doesn't matter with usage being asymmetric and all that but for 'accounting' and any relevant reporting it's all recorded by BT Wholesale and available to Consumer.
