I remember there was a reader who asked that, if TMNet ever implemented the Volume Based System, how would we know we were being billed correctly? I got my answer in this post from FriedBeef.com, which previously featured an interview with RedesignMalaysia.com previously. Here’s an excerpt:
“Every Internet user looks out for a better plan which can suffice his need for surfing. So many plans, so many choices…But do you ever track what you paid was right? I found this great tool which is free and I had been testing it for a day and it’s really awesome.
Bitemeter II is a bandwidth and Internet connection speed monitoring utility which ensures you get speed and bandwidth as promised by your ISP and you do not exceed your monthly limit.”
You can read more on Bitemeter II here, which is freeware by the way. This will probably be useful for those who are on Streamyx Basic 384K or Streamyx Basic 512K packages, which charge you per minute after you’ve used up either 10/60 hours. And also those on the 1MBps/2MBps packages who want to know whether they are getting what they are paying for.
