Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

I use less than 5 gig per month and I am on 10 meg teir so I guess I am a low user.

Another option depending on the router is having the router monitor the traffic. Some of the custom firmwares (DD-WRT, Tomato, etc) offer this in the UI with others offering monitoring via (if memory serves) SNMP. (Actually wasn't there something about the older TW modems having that enabled so you could interrogate them too?)

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

Back when I was on VM "my" usage was quite "light" in comparison for 10Mbit. I imagine the connection saw a few GB pass through it a day easily, it being shared among the flat.

The connection I'm on has an effective FUP of 40GB, and is again shared, so I can't thrash it as much as I'd like. I'd watch a lot more internet TV with an unmetered connection, but at the moment my usage is so light it's a couple GB a month, if that. My gaming 2 nights a week uses barely 20MB.

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

Mine differs greatly from month to month as it's 2 or 3 of us straining a 20meg connection, I have a VNC session and a VOIP phone going at least 36 hours a week while I'm working, more if I work weekends

That is because I don't care about it

Given what a steaming pile of capped, shaped poop it's been for people if anyone could get to the higher levels of usage they've done well.

The results so far are pretty much what I expected given the audience.

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

XBL+PS3n coupled with WoW & leeching J-Drama puts me at around 100GB down, with whatever regular browsing adds to up.

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

30-100 GB on 10Mbit

This is spread over a 2 pc's, laptop and xbox 360. Over recent months I am downloading/uploading less and less.

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

I have no idea..I'll wait for a letter.

However as I'm on 10MB I'm not too worried.

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

I have yet to hit the 1TB mark, despite trying. Highest I ever hit was 864GB if I recall, this month is just over 300GB.

I now have this internal network, I shunted 25GB around it earlier at 100Mb/so DU Meter tends to skew what actually went out via the NIC. I dunno if Tomato works on VM's Dir615...
