Hi Andrew,

Ok got TUC working (but not UsageCheck yet). I think the telecom page was down before?

A great utility!

Now a small suggestion for enhancement... :)

How about adding a date field for entering your billing period date?

The application could then easily calculate your month-to-date limit (based on the monthly limit field and the days into the current billing period), and compare this to your current usage amount.

This month-to-date limit could be displayed in the log window along with the current usage (and differential), and could also ideally display the toolbar "xx%" used icon in red font (instead of black), to indicate when you were currently heading towards exceeding your monthly limit. ie: An immediate indication to ease up on your Internet usage!

Just a thought, but it would seem relatively straightforward to add this small piece of functionality, and it would seem to me that it would be very beneficial for at-a-glance determining how I was tracking for the billing period to date.

At the moment I find that I am doing a mental calculation of how many days into my billing period I am, versus my MB / percentage used, to see how I am tracking.

Greg

Hi everyone,
for those of you who were interested in me getting UsageCheck to work
again, well it's working now.

Let me know if you have any problems.
