793554 2009-07-21 01:28:00 Hi.
I have just started using Vodafone's Wireless Broadband Service using a Vodem.
We are on Prepaid and have noticed that our Balance is going down fast.

Can anyone suggest a software program ( pref free) that can log all pages downloaded each day showing their size using broadband, so we can gauge what web applications are depleting the balance. We tend to use email and Yahoo Messenger and MSN messenger, as well as downloading the occasional PDF file as well as the usual usage of viewing web pages and doing searches.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks

You don't use P2P programs do you?

793559 2009-07-21 10:28:00 Viewing web pages themselves don't use much bandwidth, but is anyone going on VIdeo streaming sites such as Youtube?

Or use the Video chat function in MSN?

How big are the files you download?
