Re: TW Usage Meter Accuracy said by unknvoip:I checked my router logs against the TW usage meter over the last 2 months. They showed the TW meter a couple GB under what my router measured.
Comcast is about the same, not sure of Cox. I think they're subtracting out broadcast traffic to all modems, like ARP and DHCP packets. It doesn't count because 99% of it isn't meant for you. Your router counts it because it crosses the WAN port.

If it's important, back it up... twice. Even 99.999% availability isn't enough sometimes. |
