I found it to be very accurate.

If it looks inaccurate for you, it is possible that there is more than 1 person connected to your account.

You can check this, by keeping track of which ip address' you get assigned every time you connect, and then on http://userstats.adsl.saix.net/ go to "Logon history" and check the ips there. I found that some times there are ips connected from JHB, while I stay in Cape Town.

Out of interest sake, currently:
- http://userstats.adsl.saix.net shows I have done 437GB for the month of November, but keep in mind, it only show the traffic once your session disconnect.
- My own billing at home, using Observium, shows I have done 450GB for the month of November, which update in real time.

My sessions seems to drop every 24 hours, around 00:15-00:30 every night.

I am currently also on a Openweb account.

Hi There,
Depending on the router that you have it may be recording some basic stats.
I would go and look there first before going to install software to monitor. The one issue you would have would be that if it is recording it will only do so for the period that the router is powered on.

Regards

Tim

Very accurate, change your Wi-Fi and your ADSL password then retest.

One external IP on the router (to the internet). The router then assign each of your devices an internal IP (phone/computer to router).

Edit: the IP to the internet is the one for userstats.
