Does streaming movies on netflix count as downloads?

[#1]

I have a 10GB limit for downloads, I recently got an e-mail saying I had reached my download limit. I have been watching movies on Netflix and sky player. Not downloading them but just streaming, when Iooked at my usage the streaming bar is full and just a little on web. I assume this means my limit was mostly used up by streaming. I'm not sure how this works being a bit of a noob and all that. Any help would be appreciated.

Yes.

Anything you download, upload or stream via your internet connection counts towards your usage.
There are no exceptions

Maybe the wording on limited packages needs clarifying as "downloads" are just one category of traffic and nowadays probably a minor one.

Quick response guys, very much appreciated. Looks like I'm upgrading to unlimited then....ah man, that's what I get for trying to save a few quid. Guess I wont be getting that fuzzy orange steering wheel cover after all.....sigh, one day maybe!!

Just looking at the PN web site it does refer to 10GB Monthly Usage, not downloads.........

[#7]

Yep, it does HP Sauce. Also noticed it's £3.49 a month for unlimited right now. Do you think if I upgrade my bill will go down? Sounds like a good deal to me.....perhaps the fuzzy orange steering wheel cover is back on the cards!

I think you'lll find the £3.49 headline price refers to new customers. The current price list can be found here.
I suggest you give the Customer Options Team (COT) on 0845 140 6002 or 0330 123 9197 a ring next week and negotiate a better deal for yourself.

Ah poop, that's not the case I'm afraid. £9.99 a month cause I'm not a new customer, I'm not even a month in so I'm nearly new. I still have that 'new' customer smell.

You can but ask.
IIRC contract changes only take place on the billing date, i.e. not immediately.

Thanks Mav, was just about to click 'complete order'. Your right, see that's the British coming out in me. Smile politely and take what u get....WELL NO MORE I TELL U!!! Time for my medication I think.

Time for my medication I think.

Works for me  Does it come in a bottle with a % proof sign

Thanks HP, I noticed that too as I was changing my product. so what happens when I have peaked my limit and it capped so I don't pay a crazy bill. would this be a reason for really slow broadband?

[#14]

LOL....Yeah MAV. Works every time man.

streaming = downloading
web browsing = downloading
fetching emails = downloading
anything where data is sent from internet to you is downloading.
