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 thought the BT download speeds were crap as well, but
yesterday i was downloading at 200+kb/s!
but yeah, that 15GB monthly limit is shit...

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.

Which is good but then I found out my mate on NTL 1.5meg
gets faster download speeds at times...

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...
