Net Usage Meter...

[SixTwoSix]

Can anyone suggest a decent net usage meter similar to this...

I've been using this for years with no problems, however since I updated my antivirus to Kaspersky 2012, it won't work, it's completely incompatible.

So I need something similar as possible but not the same

Does your router support SNMP

I don't know, it's a virgin piece of **** D-Link DIR-615

Networx is quite good and can be deployed onto multiple computers. Not as neat as having something run from the modem end of things but still useful.

Appreciate the reply Antar but after something free to be honest, just so I can keep on eye on my usage and not get restricted by Virgin.

Networx is free.

NetWorx – Free Bandwidth Monitoring and Usage Reporting

I used Networx on all my machines... and I can assure you it's free.

Does networx work with Virgin Media traffic shaping daily zones?

IE: the day time rules, evening rules and night time rules?

I'm being a pillock, looked at the Our Products page, saw the first result was Bandwidth Manager @ $99 standard, $35 lite, thought that was it.

Moral of the story, don't post when half asleep

You can setup zones etc on it, you can also link multiple networx on your network to build a global picture (haven't tried it though).

Worth noting once installed, you may want to turn off local traffic monitoring, as it will record ALL traffic (if ur on a switch/router). That will obviously mess up any restrictions you place, given the amount of internal traffic that occurs on normal use.
