how do I see how much I'm downloading

I'm on unlimited - can I see what I download each month ?

Thanks

@martynhsmith Not on the account, no. There are programs that you can install, though, which will give you some help.

Hi @martynhsmith

I'd be happy to attach a usage graph to this thread which will show daily usage over the course of a month. The graph only consists of figures representing upload and download usage, are you happy for me to do so?

You used to be able see this on your dashboard, but they removed this facility about a year (?) ago claiming it was not accurate.

Shame; it was quite interesting to see.

@mrmitch85 It may have been 'interesting', but it was discontinued because it was inaccurate when certain traffic types were not counted, and was largely irrelevant when 99.9% of customers were on unlimited packages.

It would still be nice - even if you said it was inaccurate
But anyway - I'm looking at moving to a place in wales - I have feeling that I might get a bit annoyed at the speed - BT estimate below.
So I need to look at satellite but they don't do unlimited at a sensible price so it would be nice to know what I use

High Speed

Apologies for the time taken to respond to this @martynhsmith

Below you'll see the amount of data both uploaded and downloaded for the month of October.

Let me know if I can be of any further assistance.

What's up with the image? It shows exactly what Adam said was in it.

That's odd. I'm seeing this image:

That's what I see, too, @pjmarsh .

@martynhsmith What browser are you using on what device, and if you click that icon, what happens?

Re: how do I see how much I'm downloading

martynhsmith — Tue, 09 Nov 2021 10:43:48 GMT

Microsoft EdgeVersion 95.0.1020.44 (Official build) (64-bit)

I can see the second image - but I can't click on the first

Very strange Martyn. I wonder if it is a M$ Edge oddity? But you now have the information required?

@martynhsmith I can't left click on it but right click .. open in new tab works. 450 GB in month, that's a lot.

FYI..

450 Gb at 1 Mb would take around 24 days to download. !

450GB x 1000 = 450,000 MB

1Mb/s = 0.125 MB/s

450,000 / 0.125 = 3,600,000 secs

Div by 3600 = 1000 hrs

Div by 24 = 41.7 days
