1349227 2013-07-18 05:42:00 Hi Team

I monitor my internet usage using Traffic Usage Checker, and since May 2010 it
has been giving me erratic results.

From 1/5/10 to 1/2/11 the usage did not drop to zero at the end of each month.

From 1/3/11 to 1/5/12 (excepting February 12) it zeroed every month.

Then from 1/8/12 to 1/5/13 it again failed to zero.

Prior to May 2010 it always zeroed at the end of each billing month.

How could this happen? Monitoring is less important to me now that I have a 40GB cap, and BJ is
swanning around in the south of France, but I'd like to know if there is any plausible explanation
for these anomalies

Cheers

1349228 2013-07-18 22:28:00 :confused:That graph doesnt tell me anything!, how many data points do you have in the month....1?, then thats the total figure, why would you think your usage goes to zero at month end?, do you stop using it? SolMiester (139)

New month, new "allowance", you'd jolly hope it starts at zero :p

1349230 2013-07-19 02:15:00 Oh, the app isnt zeroíng for the new month?....Well, thats makes more sense!...I would check the settings to see if it is 'running' total, or use for the day! SolMiester (139)

LOL :devil: What part of: From 1/5/10 to 1/2/11 the usage did not drop to zero at the end of each month. didn't you understand? The graph alone is self explanatory.

Mind you, I've made similar faux-pas myself, then realised after it was too late to edit, so welcome to the club! :D

Mind you, this is no better:

It is quite clearly running totals per month, the scale indicates as such.
