Traffic in relation to computer information networks is the amount of information transmitted or received over a certain period of time. Internet users have to follow it especially carefully if the amount of payment for the provider's services in each billing period depends on this indicator. You can find out the amount of used Internet traffic in several ways.
Necessary
Internet connection agreement or login and password to your personal account
Instructions
Step 1
Use the subscriber's "personal account" on the website of your Internet provider - this is perhaps the easiest way to find out the amount of traffic spent in the current billing period or for any of the previous months. The link to enter such an account is usually placed on the main page of the company, and the login and password are issued along with the documents for connecting to the service.
Step 2
Each provider develops its own individual version of the user interface for the office, therefore, unfortunately, there are no uniform recommendations for all, where exactly in the office one should look for indicators of used traffic. For example, when using the "Home Internet" from the "Beeline" company, immediately after authorization, go to the "Internet" tab and click the "Statistics" link. On the page that will open as a result, you will see a table where for each of the last 13 months (including the current one), the amount of traffic spent on receiving and sending, as well as the total amount of time spent on the network will be separately indicated. If you do not use one of the unlimited tariffs, then this table will indicate the amount of payment corresponding to these indicators.
Step 3
The names of the months in this table are clickable - if you want to know a more accurate distribution of traffic by days within a month, click on the link to it. The table, broken down by day, in turn, provides an opportunity to view an even more accurate distribution of traffic within each day - by session.
Step 4
Use the customer support phone number of your Internet provider if your personal account is for some reason unavailable. You can find out the phone number in the Internet connection agreement or the instructions received with it. It should also be listed on the company's website. Call this number and ask the operator about the amount of traffic you have spent. In this case, be prepared to give the number of the contract and the surname / name / patronymic of the person to whom it is issued.
Step 5
Install any program for calculating received and sent traffic. True, applications of this kind are more convenient for calculating the distribution of traffic consumed by computers on your local network, and may not coincide with the statistics of an Internet provider.
