MacThemes Forum / [Widget] Internode Usage Meter

mattrobs · Dec 22, 2008 7:27 pm

In that crazy mixed-up world down under, where internet is outrageously expensive and ISPs limit your downloads, this widget will help you keep track your monthly internet usage on the Australian ISP, Internode.

I found Troy Dack's Internode widget a bit much for at-the-glance looks, so I redesigned it. Some Australians on Macthemes may enjoy it!

Download.

wow......looks great.

no internet limiting here though.

I don't live in Australia, nor do I have metered internet (), but damn, that is one nice widget. Possibly the sexiest one I've ever seen.

That has got to be one of the sexiest widgets ever! .

I seriously wish that widget could be used here in Canada...with Rogers (my ISP). We have a limit here. That would be definitely a handy tool.

Maybe you can discuss with this guy? He made a firefox plug-in to check monthly internet usage and, it works with a lot of ISPs/countries.

Dang. That sucks for Australia, I'd imagine.

Regardless, very nice widget... Sexy, as they say.

Sweet! I just happen to be on Internode, too. 8)

it will be great if you can also set your band limit. When I connect with my cellphone I can't exceed 2gb/month. so it would be great if i can set it on the widget. also you should create something that detects if i'm using cellular network or not.
anyway, great widget!

deepfriedmario · Dec 23, 2008 6:05 am

definitely good work on this, it's too bad i'm not with internode. is there anything similar for optusnet and bigpond or is it possible to do them?

thek1w1 · Dec 23, 2008 6:09 am

Awesome, with Internode and the other widgets are no where near as sexy, love it! thanks so much

EricJD · Dec 23, 2008 2:17 pm

I have no use for it, but that is a beautiful widget nevertheless.

mikaela · Dec 23, 2008 2:32 pm

Ditto on the Canada Rogers' limit Wish we had a nice widget like this way up North

pjdark · Dec 23, 2008 2:36 pm

Looks really good. Curious as to what Australians pay for internet per month. I think i pay around 50 or 60 bucks a month for highspeed. Worth every penny though. Anyways, a really good looking widget man. :-D

jakesonaplane · Dec 23, 2008 3:15 pm

I don't have any use for this, though I wish I did... it's beautiful!

rad.au · Dec 23, 2008 3:21 pm

Probably would of been nice to use the Internode oranges in the colouring. Pity I'm not with them anymore

digitalvibe · Dec 23, 2008 9:07 pm

That looks really nice! I have unlimited bandwidth so it's no use for me.

In city-but-not-capital-city Australia, we pay $70 ($47US with current exchange rates [1]) for a quota of 35gB on peak, 45gB off peak, at 1500k/256k. Our provider is TPG. Uploads aren’t counted; and going over the limit causes you to be throttled to dial-up speeds. We are on one of the higher usage plans.

Most people, however, are with Telstra, paying more for less; (and having uploads counted) and because of some plans having a $150/GB excess usage cost (with no indication of going over the limit AFAIK) people can easily end up paying a lot more.

Check out the providers on the right hand sidebar of bc.whirlpool.net.au for the plans of popular ISPs (the popular sorting is biased toward good providers due to whirlpool’s geekier audience)

[1]: I want the almost-equal AUD/USD exchange rates back . The two were almost equal until the “financial crisis”.. It’s forcing me to buy patriotically, by making everything from overseas online ridiculously expensive.

It's Javascript. If you know it, give it a crack (starts at line 229).

Would that be possible? If so, that would be my long awaited sexy ISP monitor app for mac!
