What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

I'm just interested in how much bandwidth people actually use and which tier they are on. Poll is private so don't be shy

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

Chose 100-300 on 10mb as it covers what i was using with BT albeit only 7mb speed. Was constantly being throttled during peak every month for using over 120GB. I imagine it will be more now i'm on 20mb with virgin and restrictions aren't as harsh outside of day/evening, plus being droppped to 1mb every day between 6pm-11am would have had an impact before on my amount. Or will once the engineer appears to fix the botched install :p

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

Just looked at my bandwidth usage logs and I am using between 400-600gb a month, that was a bit more than I thought

Since October 2008 I have used a total up/down 6.7tb.

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

What are you using to measure your usage, and is it free?

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

Not a clue as I don't monitor my usage as I have no need to. So I guessed at 30-100GB. I'm on the 20Mb connection.

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

im on 50mb and usually use anywhere between 120 - 200gb a month.

A lot of that usage is downloading music and videos of a friends band who she manages in Manchester and she asks my opinion on them.

Just looked at DU Meter Totals.

Since 1st March ive downloaded 134.2GB and uploaded 10.8GB.

I'm interested in measuring ("give me a ruler, and I'll whip it out and measure it" is my motto), but don't want to pay...i try to suppress the scot in me, thankfully I lose that battle

Then try netmeter, similar to DUMeter except it doesn't give you hourly totals.

Re: What's Your Total Usage Per Month?

I tend to border on the 100GB a month - sometimes over, sometimes under. It's probably moving to more often over than under though thinking about it.
