| | Questions So where does the meter become active at the modem, router, per computer?? If it's per computer how do I acount for gaming or other stuff and who wants to check each and every computer | |
|
 | |
| | | It's at the Modem, i. e., the meter measures usage (up & down) for your Comcast account. I presume for most of us that if the dynamic IP address changes, which happens rarely, that it's pegged to one's account not IP address. For a Windows computer, if you're interested in individual computer network usage, install something like Netmeter. However, Netmeter's reports show total network usage for a computer, so if you fileshare in your home network or have networked printers, that usage is included in the reports. I'm not sure what's available for non-Windows machines, gaming consoles or streaming audio/video players such as Roku.

For anyone who REALLY needs to filter out local LAN traffic, such as in home file sharing, they can try Networx. I prefer Netmeter as internal LAN traffic isn't that significant for me and I also prefer the interface of Netmeter. | |

Or you can use the Netlimiter 2 Monitor which is freeware and can break out lan vs wan traffic:

| | It seems to read a bit low ... It seems to read a bit low ... at least for now. Which is a good thing. My router says that last month I used 65GB but their meter shows only 55GB. Not so bad, that is one thing I don't need them to fix. | |

| | Active in Manchester NH Manchester NH area got it about a week ago. Shows in residential accounts, but not in business accounts. At least from the handful of accounts I looked at that seems to be the case...
Anyone know if the 250 cap applies to business accounts? | |

In fact amessage states just that fact, The Internet Useage meter is not available for this acct. So what, its only available for certain accts? | |

1 edit |  It's active
....and I went over for February with NO torrents! 
There are several devices connected to the network, and I do listen to iheartradio.com every night for several hours. This is NO different than watching tv during the same time period.
I will be canceling if I am ever charged an overage! | |

1 edit | No call yet 350GB according to Comcast in Jan, 197 in Feb and 155 so far in March... I have two TV's with PC's connected to Boxee, and my wife streams her shows + Pandora all the time. Not to mention I have a WHS and I stream music at work due to filters.
Oh well... If I get a call, I get a call. | |

| | Comcast meter If Comcast is providing the meter, who is responsible for oversight? If we are going to be billed, or worse, DISCONNECTED, for overages, shouldn't the government require a neutral 3rd party to verify that their bandwidth metering is fair and accurate? I call BS on this whole idea... | |

East Palestine, OH | . Furthermore I just use Comcast for a pipe. I don't use their email services, TV, or phone. I don't get a paper bill, nor an statement of any kind. I pay my bill via my banks website and thats it. I know when my bill is due, and the exact amount each and every month because it never changes.
Unless they come out and tell me and SHOW me via a verified source I can't trust their meter. Furthermore, I won't go out of my way to check my usage because the Comcast police might come yelling.
I don't do anything illegal - I stream commercial available music via Pandora, WHS and movies via Netfilx and TV via Boxee
