| 1190424 | 2011-03-30 02:28:00 | Am looking for help in selecting a Data usage device such as a meter. For some unknown reason my use of data has changed and Vodafone keeps sending a message each month that I am about to run out of same. I use the computer mainly for emails and Skype and no huge downloads of Movies etc. Any advice appreciated.Ron.. |

| 1190425 | 2011-03-30 02:55:00 | Get yourself a Linksys WRT54GL and put the Gargoyle firmware on it. It's dead simple to do and will count everything. | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1190426 | 2011-03-30 07:06:00 | I've just done this, and love looking through the stats. But did fine under heavy load it would reset it's connection - so I'm actually writing something to store the downloaded file every so often, and process it. But it's great to see which machines are using data when. | psycik (12851) | ||

| 1190428 | 2011-04-02 04:01:00 | That's all fine and dandy, but does the router that Vodafone just gave you support traffic monitoring, per-device bandwidth caps, and throttling? ;) | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 1190429 | 2011-04-02 04:16:00 | http://www.tuc.co.nz/ You might like to try the link above. It should tell you usage before you get a reminder. It's what I use but there again I live on my own and don't have flatmates or kids using the connection to the net. |
