Re: How do we check our usage?

In fact, cap or no cap, I would be staggered if they didn't log how much data was transferred. How would they know to upgrade an area if the UBRs didn't log data transfer?
Yes so would I. I get very annoyed when people write implying that it is ok to 'not' provide evidence. On very rare occassions when I have spoken with NTL CM support over the last 5.5 years its obvious that they have plenty of date about a connection to hand if they want to get it.

this is how I check useage although bare in mind it clocks everything going into the router (including cross compuer transfers, print jobs to i imagine).

I use the excellent Lynksis WRT54G wireless router. It is loaded with Alchemy-V1.0 v3.37.6.8sv firmware (free download from web). I have now loaded it with another free programme This excellent little programme provides fantastic stats about downloads and uploads from the router. The beauty is that you DO NOT need to leave computers on and you can even further configure it so that you can check and configure it from work or via the internet. Theres a small learning curve to getting it going but it configured but its worth it.
