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.

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.

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?

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

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.
