I've had an email from Pipex stating "you have now used more than 70%
of your current usage allowance for this period".

We have a 2gb allowance but I'd consider us as light users - we don't
download music. i sometimes work from home remotely to my office.
This month I've had quite a few photos emailed.

I'm not sure exactly what goes towards the 2gb allowance and was
wondering if there's a utilty that will monitor your usage whilst
connected to the internet.

Thanks
Frank

Frank,

I use a piece of software called DU Meter, it costs about £11 ($19.95)
http://www.dumeter.com/

It give you a break down of your download and upload amounts, such as
below -

You 2gb allowance would be based on downloads only, so if you used DU
Meter, you'd be able to keep and eye on that.

The best FREE utility for this purpose is 'Bandwidth Monitor' from
www.rokario.com which calculates up and downstream on a monthly basis. If
you have a number of computers networked, you need one copy on each machine.

Easy to install and reliable

The problem I have is that my usage monitor doesn't separate internet
traffic from network traffic. My figures look huge but that's because I move
photos around the network.

I use a free utility called NetMeter, and am very happy with it.

I'll put my hand up if I'm wrong, but I was of the opinion that capped
packages were 'normally' based on downloads only.

I am however happy to accept if it's not.

Hey ho!

However, it's not universal. From the AAISP tariff:

"The tariff is based on the amount of data you download at peak times
(8am-6pm Mon-Fri) only. Usage outside that time, and uplink (sending to
the internet) is not part of the tariff. This is a big difference from
many other ISPs that charge for any usage at any time of day or night."

Anyone with names of other ISPs then ? ...

I'm currently using the free PRTG traffic grapher from
http://www.paessler.com/. It picks up SNMP traps from the WAN side of your
router, so you don't include lan traffic, and gives you reports along with
separate up/down totals.
