what's a good program to monitor by bandwidth usage?

Post by fastspaz »

I have comcast internet, and I know that the bandwidth usage cap is 250gig a month. I was wondering if there is a good (free) program I can download that will track how much bandwidth I use a month. Thanks for your help.

Do you have a router? Or direct connection?
A free little program to run on your PC depending on your OS..

Newer versions of DDwrt have bandwidth monitoring in them as well.
