No, it's several devices going through a modem/router, which doesn't really give enough info, so I was hoping I could find something on the computer to rule it in or out as being the sudden upturn in traffic. While basic info is easy to find out (like how much data since it connected), that doesn't tell me anything about what it used yesterday, or the day before, etc. I'd been keeping an eye on that, day by day, manually, as I was getting closer to going over my monthly quota, then suddenly I've been rated limited as 12 gigs has gone through *somewhere*. To make matters worse, the rate limiting is so severe that many websites just time out and fail (including the ISP's own website). While the ISP claims that they throttle you, rather than charge you more or cut you off, to allow you to continue using the internet until the next month, it doesn't work. Conversely, when they had a network configuration fault that limited me by the same amount, earlier this year, that speed was considered so unusable as to be worthy of giving me a refund. It seems that in today's modern high-bandwidth internet, if you can't finish loading a page in a few seconds, it aborts on you. To be more weird, the ISP has a transparent proxy, that ought to mitigate that issue (they could grab the page in one go, and feed it to you slowly). For the major ISP that is the backbone for the entire country, they're very crap at doing their job. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.16.11-100.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue May 22 20:02:12 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
