    Hi,
    was wondering if there is anyway to find out how much data you are using with UPC broadband?
    Smart (**shudder**) used to have an online tool, but cannot see anything similar with UPC's site.

    Cheers

    As OSI said they don't as I just heard back from them on it and they say they currently don't have one but are developing one for use on their website but sent me this link to a data usage tool www.dumeter.com only thing is that you have to pay for this after 30 days.

    D'oh!
    That's a pain in the posterior. You'd think they'd have some method of tracking it if they enforce a limit. Even Smart have a usage meter.

    With unlimited usage limits being cut in half for the new 25mb offering, now more then ever UPC need to provide customers a way of tracking usage. Applications like DUMeter isn't reflective. It needs to be something on the router or back at UPC. Like most households, mine has 10+ devices connected from laptops/desktops/iPods/iPhones/AppleTVs to even the weighting scales. Broadband usage is now more then your main household computer.

    Not true, the 25mb offering is still staying at 250GB AUP. Same as it was for the 20mb product.

    Agreed.
