Taken from my router so everything going in and out from three computers is measured.

Frankly I am not going to fall into the trap of constantly checking what i am doing, it's like clockwatching all over again when we were on pay per minute dial up 5 years ago.

Imagine if cable tv worked the same way?

"sorry sir but we have tranmitted 75gb of programmes down to your stb already and you are over your limit for the month! Yes sir I am aware that its only November the 2nd and you have only viewed for 5 hours. We are downgrading you to our unlimited analogue service, please plug your arial connection into your TV set. That's £37.99 please!"
