BT Usage Monitor

Is it mental?

I have been on Infinity for 4 days, done a couple of windows updates, updated a few PS3 games and played MW3 and it is saying i have used 12.5GB.

Not done any streaming, dont do torrents, not downloaded any music or films, it is clearly a lying git!

you would be suprised how large some of these updates for games are and how much bandwith some of these top end games over time can actually take up.


Ive seen me using around 2-3GB in under 2hrs just watching Videos on Youtube.

The game updates were 4 at 20MB (MW3 x2) and 2 at 238MB (Super Stardust HD x2)

its gone up another 2GB which is magic given i wasnt even in lol

My router has a throughput meter and it matches my BT Infinity stats on the BT site quite closely. For example, currently I have the following figures

Router 18,656 MB at 13:35
BT 17.84 GB at 00:00

Quite feasible that I have down nearly 800MB since midnight as I left several computers running downloading various updates overnight.

Rather than just saying the BT monitor is garbage I would have a good look and see what is really being downloaded via your connection.

Skype? Can't that cause a problem even when not in use?

Provided you're on option 2, does it matter?

It's unlimited any way!

Try removing the virus you have ....

thought I would check mine and i've done 20gb thus seems about right?

Its reading wrong for me also.

Says we have used 188gb this month so far witch is total rubbish
The Home hub says 84gb so far and after counting up the netmeter totals from the computers they add up to 79gb

Dose the Usage Monitor count BT Vision usage?
