Bandwidth monitor..

[Matridom]

I plan on changing ISP shortly and i'm looking for a good program to monitor bandwitdth usage.

Any ideas anyone?

I use netstat live by <a href="http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/network.htm" target="_blank">AnalogX</a>. It's free and it works great on 9x, 2000, and XP. The only issue I have with it is that it doesn't seem to tally MB downloaded correctly. But that's minor for what most people use it for.

Maybe it will do. I don't need accuracy down to the bit.. if it's only off by 100 megs over 10/20 gig, it will do.

Matridom, I know you're talking about Sympatico HSE. You should not rely on any bandwidth meter of your own choosing, rather rely on the one that Sympatico provides in their customer self-care site. Some people have reported already that the meter doesn't register anything at all, or sometimes too much data. Regardless of how assinine the numbers may be, Sympatico is going to bill you according to those.

Be aware, don't get burned!
