Comcast Usage Meter Still A No Show > Lawsuit material

Re: Lawsuit material

So I'm sure that Comcast would accept screenshots of the Mcafee meter showing that someone didn't in fact go over the cap in the event of an error on Comcast's end....

Not everyone is interested in using McAfee bloatware, or can even use it in the case of those using Macs or Linux/BSD boxes. Plus you have the little problem of having to total up all bandwidth usage among multiple computers, assuming you are using more than one. That total still wouldn't include data consumption from standalone devices like alarm monitoring equipment, Slingbox streaming content, data accrued by VoIP ATAs or consumed by an Xbox 360 streaming Netflix content, just to name a few common residential applications.

The closest you can get to a panacea in this regard is by using third party firmware with some routers, like Tomato or DD-WRT on a WRT54G or Buffalo router. I personally use Tomato on my WRT54G, but I would still like to see what Comcast says I have used. I would like to have the opportunity of discovering any disparity between Comcast's total and the total logged by my router in the event there was one, but hey, that's just me.
