Well, the provider can actually plot this on their NMS and visualize this to you. I feel it&#39;s an obligation they have to avail this facility to their customers. If they don&#39;t, I believe you can actually use SNMP to pull this data from the router and plot it yourself. I can think of a few apps you can use (on Unix platform though) to do this.<br>

1. <b>jffnms </b>- (<a href="http://www.jffnms.org">http://www.jffnms.org</a>) and you get something like this -&gt; <a href="http://www.jffnms.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ss-perf_events1.png">http://www.jffnms.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/ss-perf_events1.png</a> and <br>

<br>There are many others and I also know of some scripts (http://apt-get.dk/mrts/) that you can use to even plot the data sizes download/uploaded on a daily/weekly/monthly/yearly basis.<br><br>Not sure if that is what you wanted.<br>
