This is an interesting tool: BitMeter. It monitors your network bandwidth, and will display usage in a graph form. I’ve been hunting around for a good monitoring tool, because we have somany people on our home network here. Sometimes, it seems that the bandwidth slows to a crawl. And other times, usually at night, the bandwidth slows regardless of who is on the connection. It’s weird. I wonder if my ISP degrades the speed at that time? With a cable connection, I know that bandwidth is up and down, depending on how many people are on the cable line (throughout the neighborhood) and wat things they are doing to use up bandwidth. But with DSL, it is different. Or, maybe it’s a sign that I need to get new lines outside!
Well, the BitMeter looks promising although the graph is a tad difficult to read. If you’ve been looking for a bandwidth monitor, there it is!

Thanks for your really kind words. Wow. I have been a little overwhelmed by the support and love.
I quit EC. This is, what, the 5th major controversy in the community?! I should have quit 2 controversies ago… it’s just not a community I want to be affiliated with anymore. That’s too bad because there are some incredible bloggers there. Oh well. It was a blessing while it lasted. I’m grateful to have made such wonderful new friends.
