Re: Usage Meter

I have an ASUS wireless router. The ASUS has it's on traffic meter. It only goes in 30 day increments rather than month to month, but still the variance between what it says and what Metrocast says are huge.

I wonder if it is doubling/tripling the numbers with channel bonding because my ASUS router is showing 1/2 the traffic and everything goes through that.

The last 30 days on my ASUS say I'm under the 350GB cap. However, according to Metrocast, I'm close to 1TB of traffic, which is obscene for a residential user. I find that extremely hard to believe.

So I don't think it's accurate at all. Unless it's multiplying traffic when channels are bonded or something like that. I don't know anything about how that would work - can anyone else explain it...

Edit:
It does look like the month of January matches my ASUS router however. So that's better.

Also, the meter does show activity from last three months and I am beginning to wonder if those new consoles are really hogging resources....

It's wildly wrong. It says I used 27gb in December (when I know my computer alone used 380gb and the living room plays netflix a LARGE amount. Not to mention two other less used (but still used) computers in the house.

For January it still gives me a big fat 0 used.
