The Home::1 has a quota amount per month, eitherwhich 200GB,you 300GB,choose orwhen 400GBordered 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.

(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.
The Home::1 has a quota amount per month, either 200GB, 300GB, or 400GB. There is also a quota bonus of half of the unused quota from the previous month. 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...
 
The 1TB tariff is different - you cannot top up or block the line, nor can you balance quota between multiple lines; instead, they go slow automatically when the quota is used up.
 
==How to Change the monthly quota==

==Topping up before the quota runs out==
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 50GBmore usage and will invoice for it. From September 6th6, 2017 top-up on Home::1 and SoHo::1 does not expire. It continues until you have used it all.

The top up is paid for by a separate Direct Debit and lasts to the end of the following month, or until used up.
 
==How to view remaining Quota==
It can be viewed from the [httphttps://control.aa.net.uk/login-clueless.html controlControl pagesPages], and also by viewing the front page of the main web aa.net.uk site from your Home::1 line, it will look a little like this:
 
The figure on the homepage is a real time counter of the usage, this may differ slightly from the stats on the [httphttps://control.aa.net.uk/login-clueless.html Control Pages] as the control pages uses data that is only updated hourly.

==Usage Tracking==
 
==Quota Warnings==
We can send an email when the quota reaches a certain point. You can edit this on the [httphttps://control.aa.net.uk/login-clueless.html Control Pages]. We'll then also email when the quota runs out. (as of June 2022)

==Quota Top up Options==
The [httphttps://control.aa.net.uk/login-clueless.html Control Pages] will show you your quota, and remaining usage as well as a couple of options that you can set.

!Block
|This option was removed in June 2022 and lines set to go slow instead.

!Slow
|The line speed will be capped, the speed depends on the tariff. For 100GB1TB users the slow mode will now be around 330kbit3Mb/s and for 200GB10TB users it will be around 660kbit30Mb/s. The idea is that at that speed you could not use the whole of the coming month's quote even flat out. Usage during this time will come out of next month's quota.
|You can top up from the Control Pages (see above)

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 (ege.g. example@a)
*They will all be given a different line number (ege.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
