I found out two days ago my ISP...Qwest...has an excessive use policy. I apparently hit it but they will not tell me what the bandwith was. They won't even hint. They claim on their website that anyone doing for example 340 gigs of hulu watching is 'excessive'. Yeah, I think so too...I also know I wasn't doing that. But according them, 300 gigs a month is excessive...but 2 gigs a month is normal. Seems like a pretty wide path between those two. On top of that this is 1.3mbit DSL...this in and of itself almost makes it impossible to abuse a connection.
I updated my router with the newer version of DDWRT with built in usage reports, I'll see what I'm using.
