Bandwidth usage.

[maxping]

I use netmeter to monitor my capped package , i also have my users area where i can also see the info.
I will be on connect for a while and then on Mid, how do i check my monthly usage?

Unfortunately, Sky dont have a "users area" where you can monitor how much you use.

I guess it will have to be Netmeter.

What happens if you go over your allowance not that i think i ever will ?

Apparantly, You are supposed to get an Email informing you that you are close to your caps.

Try a Search on SkyUser, Im sure there have been tons of threads on this.. Or I may have been seeing things.

OK thanks.

As far as I am aware nobody has been warned for going over their allowance and until Sky provide some tools so we can all track I can't see how they can anyway.

I have installed netmeter on the second pc,its good to know they do not enforce the cap strictly especially as there is no official means of checking your bandwidth use.
I would imagine this will come as the bad apples will use as much as they can even if it ruins it for the rest.

You do realise that this post is 2 years old don't you?

Sky now have a usage monitoring facility.

Are you talking to yourself? The post you responded to was from February 2007.
