Usage meter for Xbox?

dandy-candy

Hi, I have downloaded the "think broadband" meter to keep an eye on my PC downloads to make sure I don't go over my monthly allowance, but my kids also have Xbox live and I would like to monitor it's usage too. Does anyone know if there is there a meter I can buy or download onto the Xbox?
Thanks!

the only way to do it would be to use a server between the xbox and the router. with one of those you can limit speeds to certain machines, cap bandwidth, set a good schedule measure bandwidth..

Read server as a PC that has the right software on it and 2 NIC's

Some ISP's have their own broadband usage meters which tell you where you're at.

Just depends who you're with.

Just to give you some idea I had a quick look around and a figure of about 50 to 80Mb per hour for xbox live gaming so for 10 hours playing 500 to 800meg 100 hours 5 to 8Gb and thats as long as they arent downloading demo's and stuff this is all dependant on the game they are playing too if they like playing call of duty and big FPS games then it may be a bit higher.
