My cable provider charges me 1350/- a month with unlimietd downloads. But the
speed never exceeds 50kbps. Assuming 6KBps, the total download can not exceed
1.5GB. So I think you are getting a quite a fair deal. Try getting web space or
extra e-mail ids to compensate.
Don't expect much from cable. To my experience, it's a good constant telefone
connection. It's total payback if your other option is telefone line. But it's
certainly not broadband..
And it works great with linux. I don't have a cable modem connected to it. My
ISP puts a modem for a hub. So no problem really.. It's just a network card and
DHCP.
To measure total download, dump all download on a single partition and keep on
doing df periodically. But it's no point calculating that. It usually works.
Better get freebsd/debian and update daily. That will make sure that you are
using connection to it's potential...;-))
And get kdevmon. it's a kicker applet for KDE2 similar to kppp bar graph.
Excellent to monitor throughput.
