Checking broadband useage

Minkey1 — Tue, 08 Nov 2022 12:25:31 GMT

We're on Fibre 900. Usual "unlimited". Was reading that a well known EV maker was bringing in a data limit on his satellite broadband product, and that the average US home used about 450Gb a month. We stream a fair bit. Got me wondering, how much do we actually use. All I can find in BT is "don't worry, you're on unlimited".

I'm not worried, but would be interested to know what we get through. Did a search on here but couldnt find anything.

Is it possible to check? Via the router settings?

TIA.

If you're using the SmartHub2 then you can get some idea from Broadband but of course this only covers the length of time that you have been online, see below for an example

Cheers Les. Got it. Works best on a computer, via a browser, Advanced Settings/Technical log.

13 days uptime we downloaded 153GB and uploaded 48GB.

If that's average, pro rata'd out for the month would be around 480GB, so we're there or thereabouts with US useage.

Interesting.

Thanks again.
