You have used 12.44 GB so far this month. ...

because it's uncapped i don't really check what i used but i'm pretty sure that this is incorrect ...

most i downloaded since saturday is around 6 to 8gb at most i think ...

is it even possible to get this much in 5 days on a 384 line ?

don't want them sending me abuse letters etc when i haven't even used half of what they claiming ...

ADSL Usage - (May, 2010)
You have used 17.53 GB so far this month.

Last month I used 170gb, no letter from them.

I think ur safe buddy :)
 
still a bit worried about the incorrect usage though, i don't want it becoming a problem later on should they decide to change their T&C FUP etc
 
Yeah the mweb 'acceptable usage' notice says something about trying to stay under 200gb/m if i recall, but even then i don't think you would get an 'abuse letter' unless you where doing it month after month....

Also you may wanna check if someone is using your account details, always a possibility
 
I doubt that you'll ever get a letter for abuse on a 384kbps line, since you barely download 100GB/month.

In 4 days (96 hours) you can download roughly 13.8GB, and by now (after 108 hours) you could've downloaded about 15.6GB on a 384kbps line.
I'm using a rough estimation of 42kB/s on the 384kbps line.

If you're doing torrents don't forget to factor in your "upload" usage - its included in the report.

McGuywer: Ah yeah sorry thats my bad, typed before i thought. Thanks
 
Don't worry, with your line you shouldn't ever get such a letter - you can't achieve their fair-usage.
 
cool guess i got nothing to worry about then :)
