Net monitoring softwares

[Nick Thompson]

Hello, all,

 

Greetings from the mosquito infested bog.

 

You remember that my situation, here, in the third world (rural Massachusetts), I have the “last mile” problem, so am dependent on a Verizon hotspot for my data connection.  Verizon, of course, is devious, venal, and rapacious, and every once in a while claims I have downloaded 4 gigs and bills me accordingly, even though we never load moving images, etc.

 

In this connection I have been trying out Net Monitoring softwares.

 

Does anybody have experience with these?  I have Net Balancer loaded now, but perhaps Net Limiter is better?  By the way, CAN I safely download programs from Cnet or Techspot?

 

Net Balancer is run by some guy named Rusian in Moldova.  How much do I trust?

 

The only use to which I have put it, so far, is to give me statistics on my data use per day.  On the Day that Verizon claims I used 4 G, Net Balancer says I used barely 400 megs, so it’s “on” with Verizon.  Anybody else in this situation? 

 

Paranoically yours,

 

Nick

I'd take what verizon says without a grain of salt.  I personally don't know anything about that particular software. lol- as to hold 1812 overavature batman for BFE teclo. and ISP devils drawers crap. Santa Fe says: am I joke here? hold my beer.

Why on earth do you think you need to use a netmonitoring  app that'd give you heartattacks and then some about regular stuff it does in the first place? oO
