Monitor your internet bandwidth live from your computer

internet_cable_swith_bandwidthAs I goto this snow season, i have signed up on a optus 3g plan @ $23.95 a month for 200mb. This means I have to be very careful how much bandwidth I’m using as once I go over it will cost me a fortune.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have found the following tools useful:

Netlimiter: Free version lets you see how much each application is using and statistics on how much in total you have downloaded per hour, per day, per month etc..

DU Meter: Everything that netlimiter does but more! Although this is a paid version for $24.95

  • Nice software.

    Did you take that photo? :P Why does it have ardorpes.com on it then?

  • Nice.

    Isn’t $24 for 200mb like a massive rip off?
    Or am I missing something!?!

    There are deals for $30 for 5Gig.

    Maybe you need 3G for the reception out at Jindy?

  • I’ve been on the whirlpool forums for the latest week. You can see the topic here i posted. http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=994734

    But basically i was looking for something for 1-3 months. All other 3g providers require 12/24 month contracts or very expensive pay as you go rates.

    As optus has just released 3g for the snow fields for this winter i thought i’d give them a go. My other option was next g prepaid as you’ll read on that forum topic.
