    Does anyone know any good free bandwidth monitoring software for vista? Also, is there a monthly bandwidth cap that comcast internet users are limit to? Is it the same for everyone? Has anyone here went over the monthly allowance?

    Bitmeter if your just using one computer. I used to use it all the time to estimate my video uploads until Youtube got a timer now.

    Network magic program should do the trick. Install it on all of your computers.

    I had used "Net tools" that has multiple free network tools. I also used CFross-speed that have bandwidth monitor, bandwidth logging, bandwidth priority management but not free (may have trial).
