Internet usage
« on: 26 April 2010, 21:04:35 »
With, BT. This is the second month in a row that we have received a warning that we are pushing our look under fair usage, something we have never had before in years.
Do things like MSN Facebook, oof and searching the Internet use much?
Miss Vamps plays on an internet game for which we pay a subscription for, but less than an hour a day. Teenager who plays online poker, instead of getting a Job >:(any of these things a worry or should I be looking at what else the teenage boys could be doing??

Any way of checking our main computer what has been downloaded, swmbo says the history button has gone, any ideas???

Ask the ISP what is using all the bandwidth, they should be able to tell you if its p2p, news, internet radio etc etc.

Its bloody hard to fit FUP limits by just surfing

2 problems with that: 

a) he may not be in a cable area
b) more fundamentally, that would mean he would have to go with Virgin, and that more often than not ends in tears...

video streaming, including utube (but iPlayer is more bandwidth hungry), will hammer the bandwidth
