How does one with unlimited/uncapped download bandwidth/data ISP service find out how much is being used in an average month? I expect to need to move soon, and cannot count on being able to find a provider without a cap in the locations I'm looking. I might have no choice other than Hughesnet. So, I need an idea how much I'm actually using. Is this something a router can track? Does a cable modem track it?
You can use gkrellm, it does total the network usage of /this/ machine as long as the thing is running. Includes LAN use. If you are using Network Manager, it says in one of the parameters how much was used by /this/ machine during /this/ connection. The total of the connection, only your ISP and your router knows. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.1 x86_64 at Telcontar)
