Bandwidth usage doesn't match ISP

Post by snotick »

I checked my remaining bandwidth this morning through Cox's Internet Tools. It looked kinda low, so I went back and checked. Over the past two weeks, Cox claims that I have used 155gb while the Router is showing only 93gbs.

Any idea what could cause such a large discrepancy?

I downloaded BitMeter and have been watching my main pc for bandwidth usage.

It appears that my router is not calculating my usage properly. It looks like it is falling about 30% short in the both upload and download bandwidth.

Anyone else having a problem with this?

At least if it stays consistent, I can adjust my restrictions by 30% moving forward. If it jumps around, then I'm not sure what to do.
