"Wildly overestimates usage"
Version: ShaPlus Bandwidth Meter 1.3
Pros
None that I can see
Cons
-Wildly overestimates usage.
-Image/content controls only work on IESummary
I was temporarily staying at a house with a 5GB limit. Even with limited Youtubing and FB picture uploading, I've in the past managed to stay within the 10GB range for a one month period. Given having to cope with 5GB, I completely stopped any video/photo activity whatsoever, and ended up with only my mail and FB open on Firefox, and an occasional document reading window. I simplified my Chrome to load no pictures/videos to view a TVguide listing. Still this bandwidth meter showed me accumulating usage at rate of about 100 MB per half hour! Seeing that I spend 2-3 hours a day on the internet, I was totalling between 0.5-0.9 GB per day!!!! doing nothing !!! Then I switched back to tethering from my cell phone, same activity pattern on same laptop, and the cell phone usage indicates a much more reasonable 0.2 GB per day. I estimate that ShaPlus overestimates usage approximately 2X, unless it's using that much itself simply being in operation???

"This software does not work on windows 7."
Version: ShaPlus Bandwidth Meter 1.3
Pros
No pros. Software doesn't work. Runtime error 6 overflow.
Cons
Software does not work.
-
"simple and easy to use."
Version: ShaPlus Bandwidth Meter 1.3
Pros
it loads fast, it is quiet, small and unobtrusive and does what it says it would do.
Cons
i am not completely savvy with its functions so it could also be doing other things, or not be doing other things, and i wouldn't know.
Summary
so far so good. Loaded pretty easily, and it sits there and tells me how much data has flown by. I've already tracked down two programs i simply cannot use until after i get out from under the data cap imposed by ATT. This will save me some worry.

"DOES EXACTLY WHAT IS NEEDED, SIMPLY AND QUICKLY!"
Version: ShaPlus Bandwidth Meter 1.3
Pros
I am using a "pay as you go" 4G modem that actually does not have a usage meter to guide me, and this is PERFECT. Also totals this up for the year. If you have to stay under a certain usage level to keep from being "throttled", this is a great help!
Cons
NOT ANY FOR ME!
Summary
If you are on unlimited dial-up and have no idea how much bandwidth you consume monthly, this tool is GREAT. With it, you can tell how much bandwidth you would need (at minimum), if you were to go to a pay-as-you-go super fast 4G plan. I now know that it does NOT pay to use the very fast (BUT VERY EXPENSIVE) 4G modem access for daily leisurely surfing, but only when speed is of an essence or when a wireless connection is absolutely necessary.
Also, most wireless carriers that offer UNLIMITED service often "throttle" your usage after a certain bandwidth usage per payment cycle, and their offer then shifts from "all you want" to "all that you can manage to get" after they slow down your connection to dial-up speed! With this tool, you can effectively "stay-under" that unadvertised (but easy to determine through user blogs, .etc) punishment point! -
