Doesn't Comcast base it's decisions to cancel your account based on how much bandwidth you use compared to the average usage on your node or in your area?
It would be nice to see some real usage figures.

No but it probably appeals to anyone that uses more than 50 Gb a month.

| I'm curious how one would know how much bandwidth they use each month if they don't use DU Meter or an equivalent. What about bandwidth for streaming radio or video? Wouldn't that count toward a total? DU Meter wouldn't show that would it? So, how do you know? I have no idea.

If you have more than one computer online and going, router firmware like Tomato has a built in bandwith monitor that catches everything that goes over a LAN. | |

| Re: [POLL] How much bandwidth do YOU use per month? Thank you. I do vaguely recall now that a couple of years ago when Road Runner users were upset about supposed bandwidth restrictions that I did use DUMeter for a month. I didn't purchase it though and had forgotten I ever used it even briefly. I'm using more bandwidth now (especially streaming radio which I forget and leave on while I sleep) than then and I do have another computer connected but don't download on it much. I have an older Linksy router and can't use Tomato. Whenever I buy a new router I will get one that can use that third party firmware.

| Great poll thank you!
Mele20 du meter will show any connection made by the computer including streaming radio. However it cannot differentiate from lan traffic and wan traffic. Also if you have an ip based phone obviously that wont be counted either. You also would have to add the bandwidth of all your computers. The best way to measure is if your router keeps track, that way you know exactly how much bandwidth is used on your wan side for all your devices. | |

| I use 400 Gb/month... no it's not P2P... not even installed.
I do a lot of cooperative processing of small data files ... at any given time I'm running say 50-100 programs on each of my 30 systems each are processing files that are a minimum of 100Mb in size;... each file takes about 20 seconds (on average to process) and return the data.
I also have a system that I use for personal abuse | |

1 edit | Interesting poll.
I never would have guessed there was such a big ratio of heavy downloaders. Is it that light downloaders are not voting, or are overestimating to look cool?
I used to be a big downloader many years ago, but it was taking up too much time. I download about 10-20gig a month now, and thought of myself as a heavier user compared to the average, but I guess I was wrong. | |

The users that post in BBR are early adopters and probably in the top 5% of down loaders. 95% of users are going to be in the very low end of this chart and will not be accounted for in this poll. | |

1 edit | 10 to 20 GB for me. A distro or two, a little newsgroups, gaming, and backing up files to online storage. Possibly under 10GB for most months but I thought it would be better to estimate high.
My provider has a billing control panel I can log into but the usage tab is not active. I would very interested in my usage for the 2 years I have been with them.
Whats the wholesale cost of 10GB of bandwidth?...probably not very much.
