  • i thinks its great BT send out emails to let ya know you are nearing your useage allowance, although i have infact been charged for going two months in succession, over my 10gb limit, per month.....yet when i ask for details they cant provide such. im adding a useage monitor as we speak, and possibly the one noted at top of this page! thanks guys!!
    it is all very perplexing with BT! ( im finding im beginning to distrust them!!)
  • Hello, I'm new to this forum and I have read through this thread and still haven't found an answer to my query; so I may as well post it now.

    Is there any way to track a network's internet usage through a Belkin F5D9230UK4 (G+ Mimo)? I'd prefer to do this rather than install NetMeter which I know for a fact if I install it on my sisters computer she will just uninstall it straight away.

    If you can help, thanks so much ;)
  • Yes, I've just started with BT and have had an email saying that I've used 7GB in 9 days. I was previously with Orange on a 2mg allowance and never received warning emails. Don't know whether BT are more sensitive about usuage ... I can't think that I've really used 7gb!
    Is there any way of measuring the output from each individual port from my Homehub 2.0 so I can see where all this bandwidth is going?? I can't afford penalties.
    Thanks:confused:

    I downloaded netmeter yesterday. It does not seem to be monitoring anything after 24hrs os use. The graph pops up but it is blank. Is there something I am missing. I downloaded version 1.1.3. All help appreciated

    Really thanks for the tutorial, it helped me out! Because I always did more bandwidth than my ISP allows me and I paid extra money for that... Really really thank you!
    Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure
  • Hello...
    Just login to your ISP's website they will tell you the internet usage. By entering information like phone number, bill number etc you will get your internet usage details....

    I gave up on netmeter and downloaded Networx version 4.9.5 instead. Its brilliant been using it for a month now. It can be set up to monitor both peak and off-peak usage. I am extremely pleased :T
