1173064	2011-04-19 01:38:00	I Have a Hub (not a switch) between my lan and the modem, with a PC attached and software monitoring the lan to modem traffic (could have used a bridge but a hub was easier). I also have some scripts to read the Modem adsl Traffic counters via telnet and also reset the modem at midnight(saves having a running total). These figures I then enter in a spreadsheet along with the Telecom usage meter figures and compare them all with each other. sort of a double check arrangement. Doing it this way also captures the Playstation and xbox usage. Happy to provide anyone with the scripts, they may have to be tweeked for different modems tho.	SuperTed (16195)
1173065	2011-04-19 03:44:00	Yeah sure I'd be keen, I'll try and pass these on to a mate who's also with Telecom :) I'd also be interested to see how your figures stack up with figures obtained through SNMP with something like this as well: www.paessler.com Could be one more gun in your arsenal against them? ;)	Chilling_Silence (9)
1173066	2011-04-19 06:23:00	Ok you'll need a tool called TST10.exe you can use google or message me and i'll email it bassically it is for telnet scripting and creates a text output file and uses a text file for address and input here is my script for this program statrouter.txt ------------- 192.168.0.254 WAIT "ogin name:" SEND "admin\m" WAIT "assword:" SEND "admin\m" WAIT ">" send "ifconfig ppp_0_100_1\m" WAIT ">" send "adsl info --stats\m" WAIT ">" send "logout\m" wait "ok." ----------------------- and another for rebooting the modem reboot.txt ------------------- 192.168.0.254 WAIT "ogin name:" SEND "admin\m" WAIT "assword:" SEND "admin\m" WAIT ">" send "reboot\m" WAIT ">" send "logout\m" wait "ok." ---------------- You would need to edit for username and password and also prompts and the correct commands go the figures I just use a batch file to call the programs for reading ---------- c: cd\telnet Date /T>date.txt Time /T>time.txt if NOT exist stats.txt copy date.txt stats.txt tst10 /r:statrouter.txt /o:routerstats.txt copy stats.txt+date.txt+time.txt+routerstats.txt stats.txt ------------------ and rebooting --------------- c: cd\telnet Date /T>date.txt Time /T>time.txt tst10 /r:reboot.txt /o:boot.txt if NOT exist bootlog.txt copy date.txt bootlog.txt copy bootlog.txt+date.txt+time.txt+boot.txt bootlog.txt ----------------- then I set up the scheduler to call the batch files when wanted (I use mid day read and midnight read and reboot) cheers	SuperTed (16195)
1173067	2011-04-19 06:26:00	I havn't used snmp as my original modem/router wasn't capable of it and i suspect most cheaper (ISP Supplied) ones aren't either. cheers	SuperTed (16195)
1173068	2011-04-27 20:52:00	Hi all sorry for the lack of an update but been quite busy lately:- Basically still the same happening. Alcatel apparently made some config changes over the easter weekend but there was no difference at my end regarding the usage figures. I gave telecom an update of my tracking spreadsheet on Tuesday and am now waiting for the next idea. cheers	SuperTed (16195)
1173069	2011-04-27 22:59:00	Funny story, a friend who's with Vodafone got charged a *ton* over the course of a few days. Turns out he's not on their RED network, so I'm pretty confident he's using Telecoms gear. Anyways, I'd set him up with a Tomato router and *everything* hangs off it (So I know it's counting all data, as well as WAN-Only data to the router such as pings). Long story short, it said he'd used about 2GB instead of the 40-odd GB that Vodafone said had been used. Their solution was just to zero-rate those days and move on. It got me wondering just how widespread this issue may actually be.	Chilling_Silence (9)

1173071	2011-05-11 05:24:00	hi STill waiting for a result I have been told that there are at least 3 others who have logged faults the same 2 in Palmerston north and one in Dunedin I beleve. So anyone having the same problem please log a fault with telecom. cheers	SuperTed (16195)
1173072	2011-05-11 05:28:00	I wonder if it's *just* Telecom users?	Chilling_Silence (9)

So anyone having the same problem please log a fault with telecom. cheers Not sure if I could trace anything like that with my st585, which is an old T..com modem/router.	notechyet (4479)
