O.P. Monthly Usage Allowance
I went over my monthly usage allowance, I was wondering if there's a way to get around additional usage charges, maybe like a proxy?
Also, is there a program, like a meter of some sort to show how much ive used, and how much I have left.
thank you

You could not go over the limit.

Rogers.com -> Login there (if you dont have one call in for one), My Account -> View Internet Usage

Your connection to the internet is Rogers... everything you do on the internet goes trough Rogers, so anything will count. Unless it's trough a complete other internetconnection, but you'll have to pay another ISP for that.

There are probrams like NetMeter and NetLimiter, but the downside is you have to install in on every pc that accesses the internet connection, and you can't install it on a Xbox/PS3 or any other non-PC device, making it very unreliable for monitoring your monthly usage.

Your provider probably has a site where you can login to see how much you used, that will be the most reliable way.
Finish the problem

I know that TalkTalk in the UK doesn't or at least it's bloody well hidden even from employee's for when I asked to see my usage

It starts in June, that's why they won't charge til then :P

I'm like way short of my limit. Not even half used :D

Oh, you could always upgrade to a more expensive plan :)

If you don't like your current ISP, I'm sure there's other ISP's to pick from.
