Hi Nigel,

If you have, and I think you do, a windows server as the first thing in
the=
network then you can use HYPERLINK "http://readerror.gmxhome.de/"http://re=
aderror.gmxhome.de/ (Net Meter) which will record and alert you to how
much=
data you have sent and received.

Mal,

I'm in a somewhat rural area, it's only luck that I have such a good ADSL
c=
onnection to a relatively local exchange... I don't see me ever being in a
=
coverage area for cable :-(=20

The Speed is adequate? I could always use more though... it's just the
high=
handed attitude of cutting the service with no warning, apart from introdu=
cing advising the introduction of a Fair Use Policy in November last year.

Can you get cable? Virgin (NTL) have no download limits on their 10Mbps=20
package, and are rumoured to be about to increase the speed to 20Mbps.
