I'm worried about this. I live with 4 other internet heavy users, so I checked our usage last week, and saw that we've consistently been blowing past the 250GB cap. Last month, we hit 566GB.
Comcast hasn't contacted me or shut off our service yet, and I hope they don't.
- dotBen 15y agoHow did you check, I couldn't see anywhere on Comcast's site that gave this info. I used to have a DD-WRT router with bandwidth monitoring but we're now using an Apple Airport Extreme, and I don't think it has such capability :/
- dotBen 15y agoBTW: I just discovered that Airport Extreme is SNMP compatible so you can get the bandwidth passing over the wan port that way. If you have a Mac always running on the network, you can try freeware app http://www.thotzy.com/THOTZY/Thotz/Entries/2008/10/26_TraffiX_2.0_—_Watch_your_Gigs._Better..html http://www.thotzy.com/THOTZY/Thotz/Entries/2008/10/26_Traffi...

- cshesse 15y agoIt can be flaky, sometimes the bar doesn't appear, but usually it does. I have the page bookmarked to I can check it easily. It sorta feels like I'm living in the 1990s and checking on my dial up modem.
