I have recently acquired broadband at home and because it's a simple and basic service, my ISP does not provide me with a way of monitoring how much I up/download. I am limited to 1Gb per month and am charged heavily if I go over this.
Can anyone recommend any sites where I can find a program to install on my pc so I can monitor my usage?
I've tried a few searches but am not technically minded enough to know if it's the right product.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Christ, how much does that cost?
I called them ub to get 1mb no limits broadband:
Engineer: i have to tell you about our new 19.99 service.
Me: yes its rubbish
Engineer: It is indeed, i can't believe anyone is stupid enough to buy it
me: true that, 1mb please
you do realise 1gb is nothing? i have had my combuter on for a 5-6 hours, doing nothing but light surfing and a bit of MSN (and 15 minutes on an online game) usage i have downloaded nothing and was out for a few hours with the connection on. and just from that i have use 60 mbs. multiply that by 30 and you get nearly 2 gig.
Unless money really is an issu (and i assume its not ridiculously pressing as you have gone for the extortion package) you may as well pay an extra £4 or £5 and have completely unlimited surfing.
Imagine if you have to download three 30 mb packages thats a tenth of your usage gone. i'd upgrade.
to 512 (what you have with no cap)
