Incorrect useage meters

[racepics]

Is anyone else on this list using Telstraclear's "Highspeed4 Flat Rate"
via Paradise.net.nz ?
Reason I ask is where do you check your usage?
I know Paradise has a usage meter but its clearly not acurate for
Telstraclear's offerings. ( out by about 8.5GB it seems )
My 2048/128/10gb connection has been throttled back to 64kbps and
according to Paradise's usage meter I have only used 1.2gb of data. I
know I have used more that that so its obviously WAY out.
I have sent emails to both Paradise and Telstraclear asking for help and
as is the norm, neither have bothered to respond.

So if "their" usage tool is inaccurate - are there any known utilities (
for linux ) that will allow me to measure my usage locally?

cheers
Chris.

You need to use the Telecom jetstream meter to get any idea of your real
usage, if it is working. Most of the time it doesn't seem to work at all.

Hi

I have found the Telecom meter work in general terms but is not real time.
i.e. about 1 to 2 hours behind.

Cheers
Malcolm

I have my phone services with Telstraclear - therefore no telecom
account - therefore no access to thier jetstream meter.

Long saga as it turns out. It seems that when I changed my phone from
Telecom to Telstra and upped my ADSL to the then JS+ they should have
also changed my ADSL login from @paradise to @dsl.clear.net.nz
But they didnt.
So I ended up paying for my ADSL at both Paradise AND Telstraclear. This
since may 2005.
After numerous communications with paradise help desk, a credit (and an
appology ) have been issued, and I am $30/month better off :)
They ( Telstraclear ) have a usage meter here
http://www.telstraclear.co.nz/usagemeter/index.cfm
My speed is still knobbled to 64k and Paradise have no idea why. They
suspect I may have gone over my 10gb but the new usagemeter above only
has me logged in since yesterday (since that when I changed my login) so
contains no usage data for me.

Guess I'll have to take a wander through phone-menu land and see if I
can find a technician at Paradise or Telstraclear.

You WHAT?!?!
Sorry that does not compute...
You don't use Telecom + XTRA?!
I don't think they were prepared for that one!
Spot the monopoly.

Besides, I was under the impression the JetStream meter only works for JetStream not UBS which you must be on given Telecom had ended the JPP...
