I have a PC and an iMac that I use wirelessly on my BT broadband. As of Feb and March I have gone over my 10GB allowance by 12GB and cannot fathom why. As I use 2 machines is there a usage meter you can get for the actual router somehow... or are they all PC based. Cannot seem to find anything fo the iMac.

Cheers!

It's a BT one. I also have a Netgear I can use if needed.
