I have done some basic maths to try to work out how fair Oranges fair use policy is...

If we assume my average speed downloading is 6000kilobits/second or 750kilobytes/second and 40gigabytes is 41943040kilobytes then it takes 559204 seconds to download 40Gb which breaks down to just 15.53 hours of downloading per month. If we work on an average 30 day month there are 720 hours in which I can download. This means I am allowed to download for just 2.16% of the time (at any time)!

At peak times (6-11pm) this is still only 10.35%

750kb/s downloading 40Gb = 15.53 hours
15.53 hours / 720 hours (any time) = 2.16%
15.53 hours / 300 hours (peak times) = 10.35%

I just got capped for breaching the FUP. My figures work out at downloading for 3.1% of the time (any time) or 14.89% if it was all done at peak times!

Remember - this is supposed to be an Unlimited package!
