Come on you tell us to do it in one hand and stop us with the other.. Decision time NTL can we or can't we monitor our own usage of the service...... I was on about this on old .com and stil trying now... no more excuses either we can or we can't if C&W areas can't be allowed to monitor their traffic then remove the CAP!!!! |

I have asked and still asking for a way to monitor the SACM which is the only way to monitor the complete downloads/uploads for all machines... Just sent this to bandwidth@ntlworld.com lets see if I get a reply. Quote:

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
I tried DU Meter, but found it wasn't acurate.
Plus, a breakdown of the results included e-mail activity, where when I switched off the 2 other pc's connected, and just looked at e-mail activity, it seemed quite high for just checking for mail, this added up over a 24 hour period eats in to the 1gig allowance, which I think is too low anyway, especially if you share the connection with 2 other housemates, 333.33r MB per person, per day hmmmmmmm |

Veiw this page and see just that MRTG working through a linksys router. |
Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
Have people with routers tried opening up port 161 for UDP traffic? This will allow SNMP through and you should be able to monitor your cable modem using MRTG. I am reliably informed that SNMP can be used to monitor traffic.

Re: 1GB Cap Letter!!!!
Fair enough. Seems ntl need to have a rethink about their policy in ex-C&W areas then, if customers with routers can't actually monitor their bandwidth :rofl:

Sociable - in answer to your previous point it looks as though only very heavy users are being targetted, possibly in a particular area - I'll point you to the main 'cap' thread where the user who received a letter was, according to his friend, using 10GB a day, that's full download cap 24x7. The poster in that thread also using similar amount, I imagine that if all these are in the same area that area could well have a disproportionate amount of downstream usage compared to elsewhere in the country. Will have to see what comes to light. If it's really really heavy users changing times of usage aren't really an issue. Kitty, what are the internal IPs you are using on your router? 192.what? Maybe 10.x ? |

Regarding Richard M's points, fair comment, I didn't really pay that much attention to it but it does seem a bit strange both to use an http://homepages page, and the email address for 'contact us' is an @ntlworld.com one. Time will tell what the score is I guess, what's the postmark on the envelope, unless someone could fake ntl's franking machine that'd be quite a good bit of evidence, and where is the postmark from? |
