How is my traffic consumption measured with wireless communication?
Traffic is measured by counting all packets originating from & destined to the session IP address of your connection. This consumption is session-based and is only reflected on the traffic monitor once a session is closed, meaning that if the session lasts over several days it will only be reflected on the traffic monitor on the day the session is disconnected. The traffic measured includes retransmitted packets and packets dropped (eg by firewalls and antivirus programs on subscribers computer). We are unable to exclude or isolate such traffic from the counters. However the measurement of consumption is conservative and we tend to err to the benefit of subscribers in the algorithms used with wireless communication. Furthermore, once your traffic quota has been reached we allow for a small amount of grace usage before throttling a connection. Please note that traffic generated unbeknown to subscribers such as spyware and virus traffic will be accumulated towards your traffic consumptio
