Another Australian Sidebar Gadget : Optus Quota Usage Elaine brought this to my attention today. It’s a little sidebar gadget which polls the usage from OptusNet (which happens to be my broadband provider) and it provides bandwidth usage. Simple! And it’s posted onto https://gallery.live.com and it’s been tagged Australia too, which now takes the total to 3. Nice Work Alex.

I ended up going with “slow” 1.5Mbps ADSL 1, but with unlimited quota - record is just over 300Gb in one month I did as a test. Anonymous January 04, 2007 300gb in a month?! who with? Anonymous January 14, 2007 Just a quick note to say I have updated the OptusNet gadget to include a heap of new functions including: flyout containing more data dynamic backgrounds based on your quota usage better error handling The new version is available on gallery.live.com Anonymous February 21, 2007 Nice to see more Sidebar gadgets appearing.
