    Im not with BT, but either youll get charged X amount per GB over or your speed gets restricted.

    Read the fair usage policy and the terms and conditions of contract, it should tell you, although chances are they'll cap your bandwidth to near 56k modem datarates.

    I think they'll warn you first and if you still exceed next month they'll charge you by 30p per GIG and recommend you to move to next package.
