Check my usage?

So I’m back in the land of the shit internet connection having returned via a super flight from Geneva.

Obviously, as the home of CERN, the internet connection in and around the city was ridiculously fast. Blink-and-it’s-on-screen. Now here I am back in shitsville, using a ‘2meg’ connection which is actually 8meg, but only 4.5meg ‘cos of the distance to the ……….oh who can be bothered.

I am seriously considering moving back into London. The slow speeds are driving me nuts. I do so much work online that I’m finding myself waiting for stuff to happen. All those 4-8 second waits are adding up.

Anyway,. to the purpose of this post: I logged on to Three once again to see whether I’d been nailed for that (almost) 2 hour international call yet.

For all the brilliant elements of Three (I know it’s Check-my-usage feature is much admired around the industry), it’s not quite what I need.

I wouldn’t have noticed this deficiency though, unless I’d potentially blown a hundred quid on an international call from Switzerland to the UK that I didn’t actually intend to make.

See the image. Everything’s there, except the extraordinary usage. I’m gonna call my friendly Three customer services person and ask them about the damage shortly.
