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.

Here in Australia, I found that you can either have fast and small quota, or slow and big quota. 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.

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
