I installed PRTG to monitor Useage at my CM level as I'm on a router and BW-Meter etc would give me false readings. Now my sum total of what I did tonight was bascially browse some web sites, had a game of MOHAA + CoD:UO, all that time was chatting on Skype and grabbed a 155MB demo. Now looking at the numbers I have used 482Megs??? (counting both Downloads and Uploads) - I am not sure how / If ntl will count your Useage when/if they bring in a harder cap later this year, but goes to show you really that general web chatter and useage is already half way there, this not been a full day monitoring.

Now Reading up on BT, may 2005 they bring in a Hard cap, have a web site to check how much you have used and email you when you hit 75% useage. I wonder if NTL will follow suit (as they seem to) and also do this at about the same time??
