hoping a home-use question isn't OT:
Any suggestions regarding IP-use measurement apps for a linux desktop?
Why I ask:
I've been hoping to get ISP != TWC/RR for awhile, but haven't seen anything appealing. But I recently heard freedompop.com
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreedomPop
is now available in Carrboro and ISTM interesting pricewise and speedwise. (Which means I should probably post separately about that.) However the plans I find most interesting (currently) provide 10 GB/mo, with "Extra data 0.7¢ per MB" so ya definitely wanna stay under that cap :-(
10 GB/mo *sounds* doable for me, since my main access modes do not currently include streaming video. That being said, I really don't *know* my cumulative monthly bandwidth--only that TWC/RR clamps my downloads @ 1.92 MB/s (so I could not *possibly* be using more than ~5000 GB/mo :-) I'm wondering,
1. What could I install on my debian/GNOME laptop to measure my IP usage?
Any recommendations by "actual users"?
2. Is there some TWC/RR UI that shows a user's IP usage?
