1254891 2012-01-18 22:30:00 Hi,

I have 3 computers at home with 60 GB broadband connection and I would like to limit each user with 20 gB data usage each month.

Is it possible?

Thanks

Do you want the internet to actually stop at the limit for the user, or just a warning pop up saying you have nearing / exceeding their limit ?

1254894 2012-01-19 03:40:00 I'll second what MushHead said. Use Gargoyle, it's perfect for what you want, you've just gotta have a compatible router. If your current router does ADSL and Wireless, it's not going to work. You'll need to invest in something like the Linksys WRT54GL.

However, keep in mind that 20 / 20 / 20 split leaves no room for any other device like an iPod Touch or a Cellphone, or if a friend brings over their laptop too for example. Just sayin ;)
