Doug, I have been using the net spot app for some time, I have created maps for both locations I use.

It's very useful, even more so for helping to locate repeater and additional wireless points around the home to fill in notspots.

As for NetUse Traffic Monitor, thank you for that, The Netgear DGND3700 router I bought has a built in traffic monitor with presettable monthly start points and limits with warnings or shutdown of connection options.

I don't think my Speedtouch will be SNNP aware, although I will try the free checker later and see, I may be surprised...

As for children they do seem to be able to boost the internet usage significantly. If I ever do get my ADSL2 upgrade I am concerned I will find usage will increase significantly. Currently any large downloads tend to be done away from my home location onto my MBP because there is unlimited downloads there, I think my home limit is 10 Gb per month, total of up and down
