216152 2004-02-17 06:01:00 Hi, i am interested in finding out how many hours each month a Dial-Up user on PF1 uses.

My self on average use 400-700 hours a month i think.

In this billing period. From January 21st to February 16th i have clocked up 542 hours..So i think in the next 5 days it will reach 600 odd hours.

Its handy havin to Phone lines, and now that we have 2 comps in the house there is no point in disconnecting, the only time the internet is disconnected is when the Internet Machine gets turned off in the lounge for some reason

216155 2004-02-17 06:53:00 Oh yea..I am on Xtra Value Pack. I am sure that the hours would clock up faster if they didnt disconnect me every 24 hrs 2 mins and 40-50 seconds. But its alright :) MrBeef (342)
216156 2004-02-17 07:03:00 i'm going have to look at the records for how long i have spent on the internet when i was on dial up. ilikelinux (1418)

216158 2004-02-17 07:05:00 3924 minutes in august last year ilikelinux (1418)
216159 2004-02-17 07:17:00 All I've managed is 137 hours. It was last December when I was downloading a lot of stuff overnight.

If I had a second phone line it would be much higher, but I would probably get jetstream instead since the price difference cant be much.

216160 2004-02-17 07:54:00 we have 4 computers and one phone line just for data.....

Ihug flat rate and the best 5 months in the last 12 are

644.40
666.29
671.66
683.02
694.21

being that every hour of the day for a month is 24*30=720 hours

216161 2004-02-17 08:24:00 Yeh, i'd say with all the disconnections etc etc that you'd probably miss out on 2 days (48 hours or so) MrBeef (342)
