Data Usage Program??

I am wondering if there is a program that i could run on my computer in the background that could tell me how my data is being used. I have Xfinity/Comcast, and im limited to 300GB a month and if i go over i get charged for every 50gb extra. what im asking is, is there a program that says ive used 10gb of data by streaming videos, 100Gb's of downloads, and so on and so fourth. i believe that xfinity is screwing me out of my data as ive used basically 200gb's in the first 15 days of a month and all i have done is watch youtube videos, and play games.

any insight into this would be greatly appreciated, and if this program doesnt exist would it be possible to create this program??

thanks.

 

Try Glasswire firewall.

You can turn off the firewall element and just use it for the stats, which are really awesome. This program shows EVERYTHING down to the exact process and how much it has used for the day, week, month...the whole thing. Also it's easy to find information.

The firewall does work with Private Firewall on I know, so I assume it will run side by side with W7-10 firewall on, too. However, the firewall in the free version of Glasswire is basically just a one click block an IP type thing. There isn't a dialog for any deeper sorts of rules. If you want to turn it off, it's Firewall tab and the button is top left to toggle the firewall on/off...

 

Can't tell you how accurate it is but here is their app. I had comcast and was hard presses to use 130gb in a month. Mostly around 90. That's with mp3 and music videos and pdf's for equipment manuals for stuff I work on and programs from MG of course. Also had family members playing x-box and Sony most times. I don't think the games counted against the total. But online games and streaming video and watching tv programs can add up real quick. Check to make sure your wireless is password protected so neighbors can't be siphoning off your account. Watch for any activity lights on your cable modem when you areen't using it. 300gb is a very generous amount most user should never reach. If you run a business then you might need a different type account. How many devices in your home using it is also a factor.

there are 3 computers in the house. one hardly ever gets used, one is used during evenings and weekends maybe. mine is used alot obviously since i do gaming and such. i have turned the wifi off, as i had it passworded yet there was still an open signal being broadcast that anyone could connect to. i thoght this was the issue, but it was not. for the month of November i went over at least 200gb on data since there were some large game titles that were released, fallout 4, just cause 3, black ops 3, etc and i understand going over. but in December while i was playing those, i went over again another 200GB and i didnt download anything. i have a 3 month overage "grace period" before they charge and this is the last month that i can go over without being charged, yet im over and all i downloaded pretty much was arma 3, and the Exile mod for it.

again thanks for the help!!
