What's my data usage per month?

    Hi all...

    I'm with Sky Broadband for a year now, their unlimited package. But I'd like to know what my data usage is per month. Any way I can find this out? The My Sky page does have a Usage Tool, but for my account it tells me I've got unlimited so I don't need to worry about it!

    Maybe the modem might have some stats on it?

    Thanks...

    J.

    Unlimited=Unlimited.

    As you say Sky don't even bother to report your usage. Sky router will not give you the detail either. I'd be sure it gets logged by Sky somewhere but you may have to sweet-talk them into giving you the info.

    Thanks for your reply, I might chance my arm with them.

    If that doesn't work, is there anything I can run on the Sky Router / my own PC that would capture this going forward? Of course, I don't only access the Internet on that PC, so if it was running on the PC it would need to capture all traffic on the Wireless Lan somehow?

    Thanks...

    When I had Sky I was pretty annoyed that I couldn't see my usage. Sure unlimited means unlimited but I still wanted to know.

    I installed a programme called NetWorx on my computers and I've had it for over a year.

    It monitors all traffic and if you click on the tray icon it shows the current speed of the traffic.

    I also use Android devices bar an iPhone 5 and iPad Air but on my Android devices you can see the data usage on WiFi.

    I have Vodafone now who show you your usage which is great!
