Can anyone recommend a program for monitoring your monthly internet usage? I think I should keep track of it....
I've downloaded a couple of programs but they've both been utter pants.

I'm not on it for long as I've signed up to Pipex instead. On principle I cannot be on an ISP that limits internet usage. It defeats the point of broadband. I should be allowed to download what I want and not get speed restricted. It's not like BT are giving us a cheap deal here.

Hahahahahaha!
The speed isn't great on BT to be honest. I should be able to download stuff faster than this. They limit p2p as well. It's annoying. They're really keeping an eye on what you do. If you do any sort of downloading then BT isn't the right place to go.

I'm on a 1GB a day limit I think, although I'm not sure if NTL are enforcing it. I don't download that much a day anyway, so I cannot say its something I need to be aware of. I know mates in work download movies and such, therefore I can imagine them wanting to keep track of what they use.

I'm with Blueyonder (4MB cable) and they seem to be pretty good when it comes to both speed and amount. No restrictions, or at least they are quite high, I download maybe 20GB a week and there's two more users on the same cable and BY have never mentioned anything...
