Hi Ian

I've just tried netmeter following your post.

Networx actually does a lot more, and will give you up and down traffic totals on daily / weekly / monthly basis not just display current bitrates. I used it at home when my son got a web cam, to see how much traffic he was was generating. The 30 day trial was enough to establish typical traffic levels.

Into the 2nd page and part 3 seems to be quite civil upto now (touch wood). ;)

Can't wait for the upgrades myself...

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)
 

For the record - I'm glad you said 'upto now' ;):)

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)
 

March 5th already, and I haven't got my upgrade yet:( (Well someone had to the the first to complain!) :)

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)
 

That's because it starts on the 8th.

But not everyone will be upgraded that exact day.

I'm developing a data usage estimator/calculator at http://ben.cheetham.me.uk/data-usage-calculator

It's not quite finished but it should help you to get some idea of what you're using.

Ah, but if I waited 'til the 8th, I might miss the chance to be the first to complain.;)

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)
 

Hmm.

The previous announcement listed the 2MB cap as 30GB/Month. This annoucement lists it as 1GB/Day.

Not exactly the same thing. So which is it?

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)
 

It appears to be the same as it is now, a gig a day.

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)
 

well now let me see...how many days in a month? ;)

"2Mbps Downloadââ‚à ƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚ÂÂ�200Kbps Uploadââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã‚ÂÂ�30GB Monthly Cap"

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)
 

This (daily or monthly) will only become an issue if and when they bring in hard caps - but all that is for the 'cap' thread. Let's not have another one!

Re: New Speed Upgrades 8th March. (Part 3)
 

For anybody that needs an up and down bandwidth monitor that logs to a file that shows daily,monthly and yearly totals and also tells you a lot of PC information I can recommend C S Fire Monitor. It is free for home use.
I can supply a link for it or just do a Google search for Crofts Software.
Over the last 7 days my download has been 3.873GB and upload 350.602MB.

I am only supplying this information for anybody that needs a monitor.
As has been said, this thread is for increased speed and not cap.
I for one am over the moon that I will be getting a 2MB connection and I have no real problem about my usage pattern.
