[Edit: I'm curios to find my own freeware bandwidth measuring tool. I'll post back if I find something. NetMeter That's what I've been using for years. It's as good as any other tools currently out there. Great. Now how about one that wil lmeasure my LAN - which has consumer grade router for the connection. BOINC WIKI ID: 886129 ·

In otherwords, way too much information, and none of the right kind. BOINC WIKI ID: 886135 ·

I use cable (1Mb/250Kb, 25Gb cap) for live stream DL and DSL (500Kb/500Kb, no cap but unreliable connection in my building) for torrent. It would be nice to see them separately too. The cable company does have a usage page but it's usually 24 to 48 hrs behind. I've had several months where I was within a few KB of getting surcharges of $1.50/Gb.

When you are the oldest cable monopoly and have a presence in over half the country, you do what you want. The company also controls a large chunk of mobile communications services. Customer service is only a priority in the adverts. They keep pushing the idea of live streaming in their advertizing, but even at the highest residential speed/caps, I know I'd be hitting surcharges every month. The telco is no better, they limit the bandwidth of third party ISP customers, although they try to deny it. My torrent software is max out at 300Kb, but direct DL of Boinc or browser are at 500Kb.
