Yesterday, one of my friends Airtel internet connection speed had dropped. He was wondering what the problem could have been. To fix the problem he tried to tweak TCP/IP settings to improve the internet speed. He also re-installed windows 7 operating system on his computer. But none of these strategies worked for him. To solve the problem, he approached me. I suggested him to check Airtel the broadband usage as i had a doubt that his Airtel broadband plan may have expired. He then connected his PC to the internet and opened this below URL:
Airtel Smartbytes
Using the above Airtel tool is not a rocket science. Just click on it and when the page gets completely loaded, you’ll be able to see how much data you have used. The data includes the files you’ve downloaded and uploaded. The data transferred when you browsed the internet,…etc.When my friend opened the above mentioned link, he noted that his unlimited airtel internet browsing plan had expired. He immediately recharged his connection plan and the browsing speed was restored to normal. If you’re facing similar kind of problem or if you want to check the internet data usage the kindly open the above link to know your remaining Airtel data usage.
If for some reasons, you don’t want to use the website, or if you are a subscriber of Vodafone, reliance, bsnl, tata, idea broadband plans then you can install any one of the below listed free Windows programs to monitor internet usage:
Networx: This is a completely free software that tracks your broadband data usage every time you’re connected to the internet. With this tool, you can set visual or audio alerts to notify you when data transfer has reached a certain level. It can generate various reports in file formats like MS WORD, Excel and HTML.
Net Speed Monitor: This free software for Windows gives you in depth details on data transfer through UDP or TCP protocols. Installation of net speed monitor requires just few megabytes.
