Fair enough - but also in fairness, your electric utility provides about as much (which is also frustrating when you're trying to figure out why your bill went up 25% one month).
I personally run a mikrotik router which tracks my usage too, so I have a reference to double check against and could wage a good argument with evidence that I didn't use the data they claim.
Not everyone can do that though... but perhaps standard routers should come with these features now-days.
- fossuser 7y agoYeah - I think they’re inaccurate with how they calculate usage, but there’s nothing I can really do about it. It’s not worth my time to argue with them and there are no other gigabit options.
- FireBeyond 7y ago> could wage a good argument with evidence that I didn't use the data they claim Let us know how that works out for you. My guess? "We can waive this month as a courtesy, but we can't use your router as evidence".
- Alupis 7y ago> We can waive this month as a courtesy That would be the goal.
- bcrosby95 7y agoYour electric company needs to get with the times. Mine provides a website that lets me break down kwh used on an hourly basis, available 1-2 days after the given day. And I can also step outside and read the current draw from the meter. So do my water and gas companies. My ISP provides the total I used in a month, at the end of the month. That's it.
