| 1246939 | 2011-12-04 00:57:00 | I've gotta say it's been nice ducking and diving all over the net and not worrying about how much I've chewed thru!! :thumbs: (And it's not over yet!!) Being the suspicious sort I took a screen shot of Telstar's usage meter for my connection at 6:20pm on Friday, and then again at around 8:20 am on Saturday (it's always a bit behind) just to be sure it wasn't moving! I also made a note of what my two little usage apps were saying. Obviously I'm a minnow in this pond - I reckon at the moment I've only used about 540 Mb, but considering that my normal monthly usage is only between two and three gigs, that's not a bad percentage. So at the end of the day which of you is going to have racked up the most? Is anybody else keeping score?:banana |

| 1246940 | 2011-12-04 01:06:00 | I havent downloaded much. Just some program updates / reinstall Win7, so reinstalled XP mode / and its updates. And decided to get the Ubuntu 11.10 dvd's at 1.5 gb each. May have been more if I was on Xbox live playing online. But, I dont have a gold acct I dont bother with p2p / torrents or movies. Looks like you cant check usage now- their certificate expired today. |

| 1246941 | 2011-12-04 01:37:00 | Just over 11GB yesterday from Microsoft. My son downloaded a game from steam to his computer, 6GB of usage on the meter. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 1246942 | 2011-12-04 02:34:00 | Ah it's great having a 150GB cap now at work so dont have to worry about this sort of thing. :D | CYaBro (73) | ||
| 1246943 | 2011-12-04 03:11:00 | About 8GB so far. But slow going, a few downloads just died. Haven't been brave enough to game! Hmmm, just went to the TC usage meter, and FF popped up this gem "This Connection is Untrusted" whatcu talkn' bout Willis? |

| 1246944 | 2011-12-04 03:21:00 | See my previous post. Thats what it means | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1246945 | 2011-12-04 03:51:00 | If you use IE, just tell it to ignore it and carry on -- the usage has certainly been disabled over the weekend, thats a possible reason for the error as well. Wait till after 6 then try :D 3419 |

| 1246946 | 2011-12-04 04:15:00 | Yep, I just told FF to continue. Def not counted any traffic during the weekend.... I have the odd days when it doesn't register any traffic either, seems flaky at the best of times! :badpc: | Renegade (16270) | ||
| 1246947 | 2011-12-04 07:33:00 | With Steam updates (which is unmetered on Telstra Clear anyway) Origin downloads (EA Sports) and a bit of other stuff, I've done about 70 gigs since Friday night. Should have unmetered only between midnight and six though I reckon, slows it down to snails pace during the day. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
