I am currently with Freeserve Broadband, but now Wanadoo are on the scene it looks like there will be some capping of Gb usage on the horizon.

As FB is unlimited, I have no idea how much data I am dealing with every day.

Is there a program anyone knows about that can count and store Gb send/receive totals on a daily basis with a sum for the month?
I can then work out which package should be OK for my usage.

Hi Nick,

I've used this in the past. Very nice too, throw it in your windows startup and it will provide you with hourly, daily, monthly, totals, max/min for each time period, output to csv, xls, etc, etc. Sounds like just what you are after and unlike many of the bandwidth tools you see it doesn't fall short. It's for monitoring traffic through routers so not sure how it may work if you are using a simple USB modem. I assume you have a fat pipe as you're talking Gb. Worked fine for me, but if you have more than one machine on your router, be sure you filter out network traffic (as opposed to external internet traffic)

Hope this helps

Thanks both of you.
The only reason I'm looking at this is that I get the feeling Wanadoo will scrap the Freeserve package and put me on their fixed bandwidth schemes.
I have a dlink 604 with 2 LAN connected PCs and 2 WLAN PCs - 2 of which will probably always be doing something on the web.
I was wondering if it was upgrading to Wanadoos 1mb 30 Gb package but I have no idea how much data I am shifting.

For anyone looking to find out this type of data on a single PC, the following software pretty much does everything you could want, and is not as intimidating as some of the others. 30 day free trial here: http://www.bandwidthmonitorpro.com/
