Does the BT Sport app and online player count towards my BT Broadband usage?

If you've got broadband from another supplier, or if you watch BT Sport using your mobile data connection, that might count towards your usage allowance.

This will depend on the strength of your internet connection and the content you're viewing.

If you're streaming video using using the standard player

  • Video streaming for five minutes on a good 3G connection. The app will use a maximum of 45 megabytes of data
  • Video streaming for five minutes on a good 4G connection. The app will use a maximum of 68 megabytes of data

 

If you're streaming video using the enhanced player

  • Video streaming for five minutes on a good 3G connection. The app will use a maximum 68 megabytes
  • Video streaming for five minutes on a good 4G connection. The app will use a maximum of 94 megabytes

 

Will I see a message telling me I'm about to watch over 3G or 4G?

Yes, if you’re using the BT Sport App on a mobile device you'll get a message saying you're about to watch over a mobile connection, so could be charged data costs by your mobile provider.



If you watch the live BT Sport channels using your BT Broadband or a BT Wi-fi hotspot, it won't count towards your usage allowance.

If you've got broadband from another supplier, that might count towards your usage allowance.
