I'm currently with VM and seriously thinking of swapping to plusnet.

As the box needs to be connected to the net to work would this count towards the 10mg monthly usage or would it not make a difference?

TIA

Wont make any difference, if your box is not connected now changing providers is not going to change that.

you need an active vm cable feed for the box as for the connection on the box you can use any provider the boxes uses a very small amount of your allowance about 1mb a week

susie ,, as the box uses data to decrypt the keys (so to speak) then yes of course it will eat into your 10 gig data per month.

from what ive read its very tiny amounts of data so shouldnt make much of an impact but ive also heard some people say it ate lodds of their allowance.

so only way to really find out is to try it on your plusnet for a month then see,, also come back and let us know if it uses a lot etc so everyone can see for themselves.

good luck!!

regards dave
