It might be worth seeing if there's a specific bandwidth meter for your
ISP.  My ISP has one for Windows that shows up in its system tray,
someone else made a Java applet that runs on everything that does the
same thing.  They're not the only ISP with tools like that.  It logs
into your account, and extracts some data periodically, and draws up a
little graph.
