Keep a tab on your Internet usage using Netmeter
Author: Gadget Techie, Category: India, Online Services
With both Tata Indicom broadband and Airtel Broadband coming out with Fair Usage Policies for their unlimited internet connections, unlimited Internet isnt quite unlimited anymore. Infact there is no way to see your Internet bandwidth usage on Tata Indicom VSNL broadband unless you have a limited hours based/ data usage based account. Probably the same case with Airtel.
What is amazing is that when I wrote to Tata Indicom broadband about asking where I should be able to see the data transfer, I got a weird copy pasted reply.
Anyway, so I was off to search for a solution to my problem , and I came across NetMeter. Its a small and powerful utility that lets you measure the data transfer across your computer (both upload and download). With this nifty tool you can get an idea as to what is your normal Internet data transfer usage etc.
