ISP's such as BSNL/Airtel/Tata indicom have software/application designed to measure the amount of data transferred to each and every User registered to their network.  Everything is now automated and is done automatically.\n\nWhat you can do is install the free application that can track your Internet usage.\nLink to download the application called Netmeter.\nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/Network-Tools/Bandwidth-Tools/NetMeter.shtml\nor\nhttp://www.download.com/BitMeter/3000-2381_4-10504651.html?tag=lst-6-6

Not too bad, have found that in the long run, BT is the safest bet though. Not the cheapest, but certainly the best service and the most reliable support...shop around and play them all up against each other, there is very little in it. Look out for additional charges for broadband usage over and above your agreed limit. My account with BT is a set fee of £x.00 a month, some of them will give you a base rate and then charge in addition to that base rate...

Considering that most computers connected online have hard drives with 20,000 or more megabytes (20 gigabytes, accounting even for somewhat older systems), the number is pretty huge.\n\nDue to the sheer number of people online and such, it's pretty hard to say.  However, I've seen simple networks with over 100 terabytes, or 100,000,000 megabytes of information.  With how many of these there are in the world, As of 1997, over 3,000 terabytes (3 billion megabytes) of information was simply transferred over the internet per month.\n\nNeedless to say, the Internet is much, much larger now.  So, to answer your question, it's a lot.  I'd guess that by now, the Internet has trillions of megabytes flowing through it each month.

you want to control your download speed ?\n--get download accelerator plus from download.com and set the bandwidth control to limited and speacify the number.\n\nor \n\nyou want to see how much you have downloaded over a course of a time ?\n---download bitmeter 2.0 \n\nhttp://codebox.no-ip.net/controller?page=bitmeter2\n\ncheck the history option and it will tell your history how much you have downloaded and at what rate!\n\nor \n\nyou don't want any people to download anything from the internet and only allow them to browse the internet ?\n\nyou need to talk to a systems administrator ... i am a programmer and i can't remember now how to do this but ..i am sure it is something with the registry.

Call your ISP and ask them. This will vary depending on how your service provider hooks you up to the Internet so it's impossible to tell you for sure.

I had Tata Indicom, WLL with theinternet connection. It became horrible about 8mths back, and costed a lot every month.\n\nI returned it and got a BSNL with broadband. Good connection, download & low bills. Streets ahead of Tata indicom. Service is as good a Tata indicom.\n\nPS : BSNL is yet to charge me for the monthly rental of broadband!! Its a worry, when they will wake up and on the pathetic billing service. A delight if this is for true and they dont charge me at all!!

The previous answer is the good one,but if you still don't understand You better call the broadband company that service you, they usualy open 24 hour for technical support, it's better to talk and do it right away cause they will guide you step by step while you're doing it.

Right , Right click on My Computer then properties > Hardware > hardware manager . \n\nIt will give you list of all hardware installed in your PC .\nCheck under modems or networks cards is there any thing saying about Broadband.\n\nOr any additional hardware more then your dial up fax modem and network card is there.\n\nSome time you need to check Hardware drivers.\nalso some BB (Broadband) supplier give you diagonastic tools then can check your PC ready for BB or not.\n\nIf you are in UK u can try  Blueyounder or ntl tool from there websites.\n\nHope this help

Join sky mate, I too am on Bt BB 8meg. I just sorted out my sky TV subscription and will be able to get sky 16meg for a tenner a month. Theres not really any cons to this deal, twice the speed for a third of the money.\nThats what I'm doing, but I have to wait 3 months until my subscription is up with BT for their BB.\nYou'll still have to pay for your bt phone line rental etc, but mines only 11 quid a month.\nAlso sky will be reliable since they are a long established company, and rich.\nBt on the otherhand has never once provided me with actual 8meg is usually around half that so I wonder what I'm actually paying for anyway.\nDefinately switch, and let me know how it goes! Cause I have to wait 3 months to find out :(

Ask your ISP to make a update on your bandwidth...

check your internet download and upload speeds here\n\nDownload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/Bandwidth.asp\n(Ex.  Mine is 5081Kb/sec)\n\nUpload Speed\nhttp://www.pcpitstop.com/internet/BandwidthUp.asp\n(Ex. Mine is 1295Kb/sec)\n\npost the results.  Contact your ISP and ask them if they are having problems and see if they can tell you what your DL and UL speeds SHOULD be.\n\nAlso, in response to funQT's post below, deleting your cookies is fine - but your temporary internet files, while they can and should be deleted every so often, actually speeds up your system.  Certain content on websites is downloaded directly to your PC for faster access when you revisit the page.  Instead of loading everything again from the internet, it loads directly from your hard drive - thus increasing the speed in which the page loads.  For pages that are uploaded frequently, you will want to delete this to get the latest version of the page, not the old version that was cached.\n\nCheck for spyware, as well.\n\nFirst of all, in response to notrix, not everybody has the "two computer" icons when connected to the internet through broadband.  I know I don't.  \n\nIf you click the links I posted above the websites will test your download and upload speeds.  You may want to try it a few times and get an average.  24Mb/sec is probably the internal transfer rate of your network card, not your actual external net speed.  If you are using newer DSL service (they've recently upgraded their speeds), you can expect to get anywhere from 256Kb/sec to 3Mb/sec download and 128Kb/sec to 1Mb/sec upload on average (just a ballpark, I didn't actually research the speeds) - this is also dependant on what type of service you have with the provider.  Usually they offer multiple options where you can pay more to get faster connections.  However, with DSL - the farther you are from the host, the slower your connection.  Whereas with cable, the distance is not a factor, but the number of people online that are in your specific node will affect speeds.

about 1500MB\n\nhttp://www.easycalculation.com/bandwidth-calculator.php

Instead of telling us how long it is tell us how many MB it is.\n\nIf it's more than 100MB then there's your answer.\n///

Im not sure what BSNL NETONE is but i do know what dial-up is. but dial up does not charge by the hour. it usually charges by the month. It usually costs around 30 to 40 dollars a month depending on where u live

As others have said, the speed depends on factors other than purely on your own broadband which you signed up for. However,\ninorder to take these variables out of the equation go to\nhttp://www.kbps.co.uk/index.php?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=41\nChoose autorun test ..let it do the default number of tests & wait for the summary results & the comparison with an up to 8mb broadband to appear.\nThis is the most accurate & more importantly, most informative speed test site I have come across.

Don't know how you can do this, but you can get the same information from Task Manager/Networking tab.  Click on View and Select Columns and check Bytes Sent and Byte Received.  This only works for the time period that you keep Task Manager running.

Note sure how you tested the speed, but you should first use a connection speed test program (many out there, for example http://reviews.cnet.com/7004-7254_7-0.html). Your BB provider may also have a test program. \n\nIf it looks like the speed is still slow afer testing, there is little you can do on your computer (download accelerators do not help w/ large files, just web pages), and you need to call your BB provider to see if the line to your house might be noise (in which case they will automatically throttle the speed), or you are too far away from the CO (which limits the maximum speed of your connection)
