=Quota=
The Home::1 has a quota amount per month
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.
▲The Home::1 has a quota amount per month, either 100GB, 200GB, 300GB, 400GB or 500GB. When the quota is reached various things could happen such as the line being blocked, the service set to go slow or for the system to automatically apply a 50GB top up (and charge for it) More details below...
==How to Change the monthly quota==
You can regrade through https://aa.net.uk/broadband-regrade.html
[[File:Topup50GB.png|none|frame|Top up button]]▼
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.
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 [https://control.aa.net.uk/ Control Pages] as the control pages uses data that is only updated hourly.

==Quota on Bonded/Multi-line Home::1 Lines==▼
▲==Top up before it runs out==
===Overview===
▲[[File:Topup50GB.png|none|frame|Top up button]]
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)
▲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.
*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

▲Quota is calculated per-line, but shared between all lines in a bonded set. There is a process called "balancing", which takes the total quota for the bonded set, and splits it equally between the lines in the set.
If you apply a top-up before you run out of quota, this is only applied to one line. The expectation is that balancing will spread the top-up among your lines as needed.▼
▲From a user's perspective, this means that you don't hit your "quota reached" action (block/slow/auto-bill) 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.
▲In our example case, if asymmetric speeds and/or per-line [[IPv6]] routing means that you use 10GB on line 1, and 5GB on line 2, you'll hit the point where you have one line with 10GB quota and another line with 0GB quota. Balancing will detect this, and rearrange so that you have 5GB per line. If you then use 5GB on line 1 and 1 GB on line 2, balancing will kick in again, and give you 2GB per line. This will continue until you run out of quota, and your out-of-quota action (block/slow/auto-bill) will kick in.
▲If you apply a top-up before you run out of quota, this is only applied to one line. The expectation is that balancing will spread the top-up among your lines as needed.
