Sol22 Summary

I have tested quite a few broadband monitors and this one has to be the best I've tested. It costs nothing and works in the background so you don't notice it running. An interesting feature of this is its download alarm. A sound fires up when you hit your pre-set download limit. This is great if you are using a limited broadband package and your downloads are capped at a particular level. Don't forget if you have a capped broadband service its the usage that is capped and not just the files that you are downloading. You use up bandwidth just by surfing the net!

They offer a free download for a 30 days trial then you can buy it for around $20. And well worth it I think.
