=Quota=
The Home::1 has a quota amount per month which you choose when ordered and can change during the life of the service. There is also a quota bonus of half of the unused quota from the previous month being added to the next. When the quota is reached the line will go slow and use quota from the next month or it can be set to automatically apply a top-up (and charge for it) More details below... (We used to have an option to block lines when quota was reached, but this was removed in June 2022)
Multiple lines at the same location and on the same login can be bonded for speed & resilience, the quota is shared between them - see below for more details.

▲If the top up Action is set to Slow or Block, then when you have less than 50GB remaining a Top up button will be shown on the Control Page. Clicking this will add 50GB and will invoice for it. Any unused usage from a top up is carried over to the next month.
The top up is paid for by a separate Direct Debit and lasts to the end of the following month, or until used up.

▲The figure on the homepage is a real time counter of the usage, this may differ slightly from the stats on the [http://aa.net.uk/login-clueless.html Control Pages] as the control pages uses data that is only updated hourly.

==Quota on Bonded/Multi-line Home::1 Lines==
===Overview===
The Home::1 tariff is usually for a single line, but we do allow multiple lines on a Home::1 tariff which means that traffic can be bonded to increase the throughput (speed) and resilience.
*Multiple lines on Home::1 lines need to be on the same login (e.g. example@a)
*They will all be given a different line number (e.g. example@a.1, example@a.2 etc.).
*Each line needs its own Quota, these can be different amounts. (Previously we had allowed a line to have zero quote, but this has changed)
*Automatic quota balancing will ensure that the total quota is automatically shared as needed
===Balancing===
From a user's perspective, this means that you don't get auto topped-up until you have completely run out of quota across your set of lines. However, there can be confusing states where (e.g.) you have a total of 25GB quota left, shown to you as line 1 having 20GB quota and line 2 having 5GB quota. Don't panic; when the line with 5GB quota runs out of quota completely, balancing will kick in and adjust the situation.
