OptusNet Usage Meter

This project has been abandoned. I am no longer an OptusNet customer and there are now superior alternatives out there.



An OptusNet Broadband Cable usage meter implemented as a Firefox Extension.

Version: 1.0
Last Updated: 17th October 2005
Platform: Firefox
Requirements: Firefox 1.0+
Status: Beta Testing
L icense: GNU General Public License

The only usage monitors I could find were all Windows taskbar applications, which doesn’t really suit a network entirely made up of Linux. I figured Firefox provided the best framework for this type of application.

This is my first attempt at a Firefox extension. It is currently in testing on my network and is due to be released to the public within the next week or so.
