Interesting. Tell me more -- I've never heard of that.

I connect to WiFi through a Linksys WRT54GS router that's running DD-WRT firmware (configured as a repeater, with AutoAP usually active), and it records my daily usage and monthly totals, remembering them for a long time. Just now I reviewed the pretty monthly charts, and I very seldom reach 10GB total up+down. The last time I exceeded 20GB was July 2013 when I was installing XP on several machines and then running update. I never watch TV, and by golly ain't gonna watch any TV, although I look at YouTube on occasion.

So that might work for me. What sort of beast is it? What hardware, how much money, etc.? General tutorial and discourse solicited.
