Hi Slayer,

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll pass it along.

Please keep in mind, our community forums intend to provide a peer-to-peer environment to discuss technical solutions.

Cheers

The throttling is also an issue.  But this is being discussed in another thread.

Bell admits errors tracking clients’ Internet usage

http://www.moneyville.ca/article/935381--bell-admits-errors-tracking-clients-internet-usage?bn=1

If this is happening with Bell, could it also be happening with Rogers? Is there any independent tracking monitor available to check on your bandwidth?

[Ressy]

I do believe you can use Tomato http://www.polarcloud.com/tomato

However, it'll only show what everything hooked up to the Router uses.

It won't count dropped incoming packets by Rogers, which they do count. 

Also remember Rogers' dropping packets also artifically increases your usage - each dropped packet usually requires 1-3 extra packets being sent.  More $$ for Rogers.

Currently all internet traffic that we monitor comes directly from the MAC address of your Cable modem.  You do have access to free Bandwidth monitor systems on the internet to install directly on your computer system to track the usage for each machine to gain a better picture.

Here is a example of a free lite application.

 @Everyone

Why? Can moderator of this forum kindly explain this to me?

My response was a reaction to recent Shaw Communication (Calgary) decision to OPEN CAPS for all their Internet users. Why moderator of this forum see this unrelated to this topic???

Rogers: your turn to increase the limits....

[Khicken]

Bell recently pulled the plug on their download monitoring....and Shaw is delaying implentmenting UBB....

Is Rogers going to look over their ubb/monitoring/caps anytime soon??

@Enigmatic

Hi there,

I'll look into this for you and send you a PM as soon as I have more information.

Thanks for your patience.

The bandwidth caps on Rogers are horrible. Luckily teksavvy will soon be available in my area, along with 300GB/unlimited caps.
