Monthly Usage Allowance by Hotdeal on 04-05-2008 at 04:33 PM
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

a proxy would still use your internet

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

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.

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