Net Usage Item 2.1.5

Monitor ISP-reported broadband usage in Chrome

Net Usage Item is a Chrome browser indicator for monitoring internet usage reported by an ISP. It fetches figures from a provider's XML data feed or usage web page, helping broadband customers keep an eye on download limits and, where available, upload limits. Although aimed at Australian users, it can suit other ISPs that offer a compatible XML feed.

Net Usage Item for Windows 10 - Full description

Net Usage Item is a Chrome-based internet usage indicator for people who need to keep track of broadband data limits. It retrieves usage figures from an XML data feed or a usage web page supplied by an internet service provider, then makes those figures available through the browser. The project is aimed especially at Australian broadband customers, where monthly download limits - and sometimes upload limits - can make it useful to monitor data consumption.

The indicator depends on the ISP providing a source of usage information. When the provider offers an XML feed, Net Usage Item can fetch its figures from that feed. It can also use a usage web page, giving it another way to work with providers that publish account usage online rather than through an XML feed. The information shown therefore comes from the ISP's own usage source, rather than from an independent measurement of all network traffic.

Although the project focuses on Australian broadband services, its approach can suit providers in other countries if they supply a compatible XML usage feed. This makes the tool relevant to users whose service has a capped allowance and to anyone who wants a quick browser-based view of ISP-reported usage. It is intended as an indicator, not as a replacement for the provider's account portal or billing records.

Net Usage Item is freeware and runs as a Chrome browser add-on. Its usefulness depends on whether the ISP exposes usage data in a form the project can retrieve; providers without an XML feed or usable usage page may not be supported. The project information identifies Windows releases through Windows 10, but does not establish compatibility with later Windows versions.
