Program to monitor internet bandwidth usage

[remixedcat]

I average 350gb a month personally.

What is that software? I have wanted that for my router for so long.

It's the firmware that is on the Cisco Meraki Z1.. It's awesome

I have ddwrt. I once tried to find something that did pretty much that. I found some unfinished github code and that was all.

yeah this router is an enterprise grade one though.

I've seen people use more than 150GB fairly easily. Depends on what the typical usage is.

I'd set up a PRTG server + probes on all the pcs and then add the packet sniffer sensor to it.

I knew you'd be in here suggesting PRTG.
I was going to suggest PRTG + SNMP off the router to see if you're actually seeing the same amount of data going out as your ISP is. Depending on the router, you may be able to monitor traffic in real-time to all clients, but that's not too common of a feature. I like remix's idea though. You might be able to just add the SNMP Windows feature and monitor via that, although I've never tried that myself.
If you need near-real-time SNMP monitoring, I like Flowalyzer. Not as good for longer periods of monitoring.

You can add several types of windows sensors, snmp, wmi, and some others.

150GB is A LOT, even if you stream/download HD video.

Not really. Here we use over 250GB in a month easily. This also includes before CenturyLink upgraded the service here a few years ago, and it went from oversold 7mbit/s. (normally 4-5mbits download) Now we have their 12mbit service it's normally around 13.5mbit/s. Before anyone asks no I don't know how much is used per month now.

problem with any app or software, is that its only going to show that one device at a time - not your global usage.


you can install a program onto every PC and see if one does happen to be chewing through it, i'd start with that youtube heavy box.

I think they've got for android too, but we just keep wifi switched off since we do not use our phones for the net at home.

All things apart, the above screenshot is interesting in that with a 150GB per month we should be using over 5GB daily to go over. However the main 2 pc's (mine and the kiddo's) show only slightly more than 7GB between them for the first 7 days of this month...

Do you have any software updates using a ton of B/W I find skype using a bunch and I've tried to block skype upates and it's not very easy!!! -_- all skype does is try to put more ads and screw with people's sound settings and I want it blocked forever on my network and that's becoming harder to do since they keep using new ports and stuff. and they've changed the apps.skype.com to not be used anymore and they use some other site so it's impossible to firewall updates.

Thinking about ditching skype altogether but too many friends use it -_- same as the hubs... -_- uggggh!

Any updates? I've just discovered the thread and it's an interesting reading.

Also, where are you from, Panther? Bandwidth limit in year 2015, what the actual fuck? That's so 1995.
