• We should now be fully online following an overnight outage. Apologies for any inconvenience, we do not expect there to be any further issues.

Any ideas for why this is happening?

Up here in Anchorage our cable modems are alloted a certain amount of "transfer bandwith" per month. My home gets 20gigs per month because we are paying for the highest residential level one can get. Costing $100 a month.

Anyways, from Jan. 31 2002 to Today Feb. 4 2002 the webpage that monitors your usage shows we are at 10gigs!!

I did somewhat of a test yesterday, pretty much having no one else in the house download anything large. Web-surfing is fine, etc...but told no one to download any demos, or anything large! Jumped from 8gigs to 10gigs in that day.

Tech Support wasn't much help, they are thinking that we are just downloading, and uploading too much stuff....hell we had 3 gigs of upload in that 5 day period and our upload is capped at 256k.

So my question is what else could be causing this? And is there a program out there that monitors downloads and uploads? At least from one computer?

Thanks!

AnalogX NetStat Live is what I use. AnalogX It tracks current speed, average speed, maximum speed, data totals last month, this month, and since the last reboot for incoming and outgoing traffic. It rocks!
