Broadband usage with plus.net

[#1]

I have just found a program that lets you watch TV programs from around the world
It looks really good since I live in an area where I cant get Freeview
I dont think I would watch it excessively
My main concern is wether or not I would hit my limits on bandwidth allowance.
Does anyone know if there is a way I can meter my usage so that I can keep a check on it?

If you know what bitrate the stream uses you can calculate your usage when viewing it. Most viewers will show you the bitrate.
If its 128Kbs (Kilobits/second) them devide by 8 to get the number of bytes (16KB/s) then multiple by 60 to get the usage per minute (960KB/m) or approx 1MB/minute.
You can monitor you peak and off-peak usage via the View My Broadband Usage page on the portal under connection settings. This is up to 2 hours behind so make allowances for that.

If you're running Windows you might like to have a look at NetLimiter: http://www.netlimiter.com
