El Paso, TX | ATT Bandwidth consumption meter I will note that various sources state that subscribers will be able to check the usage of their connection. Does anyone have the link for this ATT side tool? |

| I don't think it exists yet, since the caps haven't even started trialing yet. |

That doesn't take into account other PCs or other things that use bandwidth.
(Think the set-top Netflix box, gaming console.. something like that that won't run a Windows app)
I think AT&T should have a meter accessible through their online interface if they really start capping. |

Ya, i didn't think about that, i only have 1 pc hooked up to the DSL line that uses 99.9% of the bandwidth. You could always mod a linksys router with DD-WRT to monitor WAN usage. |

I am about ready to install, and test, WallWatcher. It is supposed to work with my D-Link router, and should monitor traffic, including the Sony PS2 and DirecTV HR-21. And the D-Link DSM-510, if I ever figure out how to get it to stream traffic from the Internet to the TV.

| What I also wonder is that does this (Caps) also include the TV bandwidth? How can the internet bandwidth be separate from the TV bandwidth? Any ideas? This cap thing is freaking crazy. |

Here is the link posted with the DSLReports front page article.
»uversecentral1.att.com/uvp/myhom···andusage
It seems to be accurately tracking my main dsl account. Except that it is at least 3 days behind.
It is not working for my second dsl account.
First one is on sbcglobal.net, second is att.net. Maybe they are still getting it going on all domains.
