You Have The Obligation to Inform One Honestly of the risk, And As a Person
You Are Committed to Educate Yourself to the Total Risk In Any Activity!
Once Informed & Totally Aware of the Risk,
Every Fool Has the Right to Kill or Injure Themselves as They See Fit!
 
If you're with TelkomInternet, they should give you an address to use. MWeb have their own usage tracker also.

Otherwise, most of the other ISPs all use this:
http://userstats.adsl.saix.net

Just punch in your username and password (both case sensitive), and it'll tell you. Be aware it's shown in bytes, so 3 000 000 doesn't mean 3GB. Only when it's highlighted in red do you have to worry, as it then means you'll be capped soon.
 
Yeah and they pride themselves int the fact that their definition of 3FB is not 3,000,000,000 bytes ... but 3,221,225,472 byte ... we are SO greateful !!!!

By now there should be a app that someone has writen that you can run on your network / PC (PPPoE) that can monitor you data useage.

the only app that I have found that can monitor my PC, not the other PC's on my lan is "Casc'ADSL".
 
There is DU meter ... CostAware (This one differentiates between local and int b/w) and then most Firewalls should be able to log usage for you ...

I do have DU meter but I need to monitor all 3 of my PC on my lan with one tool.

I am using PPPoE and using the ADSL modem to do the dialing up thing.
