will do much the same thing and you get a month's free trial.
It has established how much of an Internet saddo I am, since I've exceeded 5GB already this month. (a one off, as I spent two weeks working from home) but at least it gives me proof positive to switch from my 27.99 Orange Unlimited account to one that will be a tenner less next month!0 -
anybody any idea how we woul monitor the useage on xbox 360 live, in our house we have 2 desktops a laptop and the 360, we are thinking about ending our connction with AOL and going to the Sky Max option, as AOL is very slow now.
Thanks for any helpTitch0 -
sounds like you would be using a router - most routers have some sort of statistics monitoring service on them - normally you can access your router by typing in http://192.168.0.1 in your web browser
most of the time, everything is measured in bytes, so remember to divide by 1024 for KB, 1024 again for MB, and 1024 a third time for GB
hope this helps0 -
Thank you, have tried this but at the moment the connection is timing out, so I will keep tryingTitch0

thought I'd contact them and get an anwser from them - live help - took me a whole day to get to correspond with an Indian guy who was no help - he didn't know and just kept giving me apologies. Anyway I then tried ringing them after looking the phone number up on say no to 0870, through to another Indian guy after about 7 minutes, he gave me my router address ip and I checked it, so I think I will ditch AOL - 29.99 a month for not a very good service, I need to monitor my useage first thoughTitch0

I've downloaded NetMeter and it's running fine now - except that it appears to double the download speed (i.e. my BB is 1MEG - 128K but the Meter shows a constant DL speed in the '250 KB/s' range) from what it should be.
(Any thoughts on this?).....under construction.... COVID is a [discontinued] scam0 -
I found the invisible sticky.....
Sorry was in the office and just needed the answer.0 -

I use Tautology Bandwidth Meter - does exactly what it says on the tin and provides daily and monthly downloads and uploads information. See:

Hmm, Maybe I've just been luck but my ISP has never charged me for going over my allowance. (Wanadoo/Orange) Any other users had a similar experience?
Still though, I think NetMeter is great. Been using it for a few months - Just in case. You never can be too sure of anything!0
