I’ve just applied to increase the speed of my broadband connection with BT, and was wondering how much bandwidth I actually used in a month to see if I could downgrade to a cheaper package, one with less monthly download allowance.
In trying to find out how much I currently used, I came across this on their site:

No, under our new approach we’ll monitor how much you use for you, so you don’t have to worry about it. If you stay within the usage guideline for your product, or only ever exceed it by a small amount then there’s no need to worry about how much you are using.
That’s like going to a garage for your car’s regular service and when you ask them what they did on the car they just say “Don’t you worry about that, if it’s work costing more than you usually pay, we’ll bill you for the extra.â€
Great, thanks for looking out for me like that.

“What on earth have I been looking at for it to suggest that!?” I thought, as I clicked on the “Recently viewed items” link it was offering me.
Hmm… I wonder what that combination of products says about the users of Amazon.co.uk!?
