Yeah, not too bad then. I was more stunned you'd done that in 7 days!

I guess the only thing to do is figure out what isn't scheduled perfectly and fix it

Pah for download limits, they are for n00bs :rofl:

Bah, you guys don't realise how good you've got it.

I'm near Hull so I can only get Karoo (no BT) and I'm on:

10GB Monthly usage
(£1 per 1 GB thereafter) for £17 a month

or I could upgrade to 75GB for £30 a month but that's daylight robbery for a 3MB connection!

60G peak usage is plenty, mine is 45G and currently at

Total Peak Usage: 4.83 Gb / 45Gb

My month starts on the 18th of the month and even with the US TV seasons back up again i am nowhere near it !

The offpeak is when i do most downloads

Total Offpeak Usage: 35.55 Gb / 300Gb

Still have LOADS of room left !

I don't have a limit

Aye, I'm not sure what Feek is up to tbh.

I'm on home 30, my month starts on the 19th and I've used 18.63 GB total. Perhaps I need to get me some more HD love instead of the normal.

I just moved to an ISP with a monthly usage limit. If I overdo it I'm blaming iPoo 'cos I went with this deal on his recommendation btw..!

Feek what do you use to monitor bandwidth? I have two PCs and a laptop on the network - the lappy won't be using much but I still think it best to monitor the LAN as a whole, so I guess I need something on the router..?

Sorry to hijack your thread too!

I have a Netgear DG834N router, I was wondering if I can flash it and use the Tomato firmware that people on the interweb seem to rave about.. specially on Lifehacker!

use the ISP control panel, it'll update nightly

Feek · 08-10-2008, 21:30

Entanet has a live usage page, it updates every few minutes and I ended up with about 100Mb to spare

I do run reduced speeds during peak times but obviously overdid it a bit for that billing period. I have learned.

But I think it's pretty good going, I have an allowance, it's only sensible to use it
