Avoid ISP Penalties with Free Download Monitor

(PRWeb) February 28, 2007 -- With cheaper broadband deals emerging in the UK market every day how are ISPs covering their costs? Michael Phillips, Sales Director at BroadbandChoices.co.uk warned: "Broadband providers are offering supposedly cheap deals with one hand, but clawing the money back with penalties for downloading".

In a bid to combat these penalties, BroadbandChoices.co.uk are offering users a free tool they can use to track how much they have downloaded over a day, month or year. This will help customers avoid exceeding their limit or choose a new package with the correct limit.

Mr Phillips said, "Even customers who have signed up to unlimited broadband packages can face fines under their provider's fair usage policy."

A recent ICM survey* found that 71 per cent of users thought their broadband package was unlimited but 75 per cent of the deals out there actually have limits on how much you can download. Mr Phillips said, "We wanted to help customers understand how much they are downloading each month."

The Broadband Download Monitor will allow customers to manage their downloading or benchmark their usage so they can select a package with an appropriate download limit. Customer should compare broadband packages by price, download limit and speed and contract length before choosing a package.
