A simple search of the net will find there are many bandwidth monitoring sites that are available for free. A popular one is callled Free Meter Bandwidth Meter.

You also can use WFilter freeware for network bandwidth monitoring.

One can measure how much bandwidth they are using by downloading and installing special software that will indicate bandwidth. Alternatively the modem's link should display bandwidth.

What is ADSL contention ratio?

ADSL Contention ratio is the ratio of potential maximum demand on actual bandwidth. In other words if there are 50 people using the same bandwidth of a 8Mbps ADSL line then the contention ratio is 50:1. This in turns means that the actual bandwidth that any one of those 50 users will receive is far less than the 8Mbps.


How do you measure penetration in welding?

To measure penetration of a weld, one must cut and etch the weld, preferably on a test coupon. Etching is just using an acid that will discolor the weld metal so that there is a visible difference between the weld metal and the base metal. Once the acid has taken affect, one can measure the weld using calipers or a similar measuring device.


Is modulated voice signal a baseband or broadband?

Neither.baseband refers to the original voice signal itselfbroadband refers to a form of wide bandwidth data transmission (e.g. internet traffic)the modulated voice signal consists of a carrier frequency and two sidebands, the bandwidth of the sidebands varies depending on the form of modulation used as well as the bandwidth of the original baseband signal, to reduce transmission power it is possible to eliminate the carrier frequency and to reduce overall bandwidth one of the sidebands may be partially suppressed or eliminated completely (but one sideband must always be fully retained)


How Frequency Modulation Have Higher Bandwidth then AM?

Bandwidth is defined as difference between two frequencies.In AM only amplitude is modulated or changed to transmit the data at the given fixed frequency. In FM the frequency of the signal is changed to transmit the data. Since we will need a range of frequency to transmit the data using FM (say frequencies from f1 to f2), the bandwidth of FM signal will be higher than AM signal which can transmit at a fixed frequency.But.....The above answer does not address the issue of "strength of modulation", that is, modulation index.A.M. will always have a bandwidth of twice its highest modulating frequency regardless of the strength of modulation.For voice comms with about a 3 kHz maximum frequency, A.M. will demand (3+3) = 6 kHz of bandwidth.Because F.M. modulates the frequency swing of the transmitter, low modulation indexes with F.M. can give a bandwidth LESS than the maximum modulating frequency. Narrow-Band F.M. (NBFM) can have a bandwidth of *less than* 3 kHz, indeed it can have a bandwidth of only a few hundred hertz, in theory.In practice, very narrow NBFM suffers from worsening signal-to-noise ratios, and one of F.M.'s chief advantages over A.M. is the superior signal-to-noise of F.M. when it is allowed sufficient bandwidth.


What are the advantages and disadvantages of binary phase shift keying?

One advantage is more bandwidth. A disadvantage is that the transmitted power is lower.

What does one use a bandwidth calculator for?

One would use a bandwidth calculator to see how much data that they are using. Normally it goes by month long periods and you could measure it by that standard.


What is the purpose of limiting bandwidth on a Cisco router?

There are a number of reasons that one may want to limit bandwidth on a Cisco router. If one is using too much bandwidth, that could slow the download speeds of other users in the area. Also, some internet services cap the amount of bandwidth allowed.


How can one measure the bandwith of an internet connection?

One can measure the bandwidth of an internet by visiting the speed test website. It is a simple process of opening the web page, pushing a button and then the website automatically measure the bandwidth of the internet being used.


How do you measure the bandwith?

If you're trying to measure the bandwidth of your home internet connection, you should first stop all your other devices from using the internet. In fact you could simply hook your computer directly up to your internet modem/gateway. Then you go to a speed testing website and run the speed test. It will tell you what your upload and download speeds are. One common website is speedtest.net


Is dedicated bandwidth a good investment?

That would depend on how much data bandwidth one is working with. If a person is hosting content for a website that is very popular then yes dedicated bandwidth is a good investment.


If you are using a home network to copy data wirelessly from one computer to another or watching tv from another computer on the network does this take up bandwidth?

Yes, it takes up the bandwidth.


What are the disadvantages of tethering?

Tethering is pretty much using a smart phone as a modem, so if you have a limited data plan, then you'll probably need to upgrade to an unlimited one, because of the bandwidth consumption. Also, when you are using it as a modem, you can't use it as a phone. Pretty much the only thing I discovered from it.


What is the difference between regular and dedicated bandwidth?

Regular bandwidth means you are sharing bandwidth with other people on the network so the more people on the network the slower one's connection will be. Dedicated bandwidth guarantees one a certain amount of bandwidth that is not shared.


How much bandwidth does iTunes use?

Last night we plugged one in for the first time in about a week, and it used about 250 megs. This was a big deal for us as we have satellite internet with bandwidth restrictions.


How does one measure religion?

You measure the Christian religion using the Bible as the measuring line.


Why AM is used in TV video signals transmission and not FM?

AM has a smaller sideband bandwidth than FM, since the baseband bandwidth of NTSC video is already about 4.5MHz, using AM vestigial sideband the resulting bandwidth is only just under 6MHz (without partially suppressing one sideband, the resulting bandwidth would have been about 9MHz). Had FM been used instead the resulting bandwidth might have been around 100MHz instead.


Are you safe is you delete illegal downloads from your computer?

Your ISP (Internet Service Provider) measures the bandwidth of it's clients. If a red flag comes up because a person is using too much bandwidth (signifying a high number of downloads) then there is a risk that you will be caught.Deleting them is one option, but whatever program you use to download material should have an option to "stop sharing file". it's not so much you downloading, it's when you have alot of files that are still being shared that jacks up your bandwidth.
