Real-Time Monitor?

[JL Sparks]

Does anyone know if a real-time connection monitor is available for cable service?

Specifically, a real-time monitor that checks d/u speeds at a regular interval to provide a better picture of true d/u speeds then the quickie tests do..

I suspect that my speeds aren't where they should be (AT&T@home), but i have no proof to show the level 2 techs.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Allows you to test your connection against their servers at a regular interval by downloading a file.

A small but very handy util is DUMeter, it will measure bandwidth across your nics. http://www.dumeter.com/

You also might wanna try AnalogX's netstat live. It's freeware, and it give you information on how much you're up/downloading. If you want to test your bandwidth, download as much as you possibly can at the same time, and then check which numbers it displays.

Cheers,
Ronald

I have to agree with Speed, AnalogX's program is very good and FREE!! It even tells you CPU usage and download totals. www.analogx.com (http://www.analogx.com)

Got NetStat Live, looks just exactly what I've been searching for. Thanks!

Netstat is by far the best I've used...They have some other great software at their site to at www.analogx.com (http://www.analogx.com) too....

How do you, guys use NSL? I mean, as far as my speed, I do not need a speedometer to surf, I know when the net is fast and when it's slow. Can SNL tell me that the speed is slow because of my PC problem, and, therefore, I can do something?
Another thing: its interface. It displays thin green characters on black background, I can barely read the largest ones.
