Hi folks, two-pronged question

1. Thinking of changing ISP from Demon to bt and uping to 1 meg coonection......but.....on bt there is a 30 gig limit. How can I find out just how much stuff I download/upload in a month.
I mean is there a prog. I can use, something in windows?

2.If not bt, anyone recommend another ISP offering 1meg, at a price close to bt, that may not be limited?

Just for the record Demon have been very good and I have had very few problems with them, it's just that their 1 meg is well over £35 per month, and all pound's saved go to more upgrades!!!!

Cheers!!

Little thing to remember when looking at broadband packages.

Demon are dearer for a reason. compare the contention ratios between a dear ISP and a cheap one.

Good explanation of contention ratios here

home user usually 50:1
business connections usually 20:1

Any ideas about what I could use to measure how much I download?

I am online 24/7 and do use a fair bit of Bit Torrent, etc but only for shareware and freeware stuff of course!
