When content providers state the file size of their content, it may take up a little bit more of your data to download that file. This is because of encryption and addressing data – the ‘headers’ on each packet of data – which can be up to 10 per cent of the total file size.
For instance, if an image is said to be 100MB, it may take up to 110MB of data to download that file to your device.
At EE, we do what we can to limit the amount of data you use when downloading content in the UK, for example by not counting all of the ‘DNS’ data that’s used up every time you access the internet.
