Hi Harold,

Ah, Ha, they did get their finger back in the "local pot" !!!

Don't answer if you rather not but I thought you mentioned before that you were in Ohio ??

I'll have to look into ATnT Local service. Jacking prices fits their mold !!!

You mention dslreports and seem to have a good handle on things. I was thinking about doing a dslreports speed test with nothing running and again with everything running that I normally do and from that try to calculate what total "bit consumption per unit time" might be.

The difference in the two numbers should be your average consumption over the duration of the test. Might have to run it a number of times and average things but worth a look ?? Since the results are in bits per second one can then calculate total bits transferred/received over any period of time you like.

I'll check the link you posted.
Thanks, Lee
