Need Xbl data measurement?

First of all, I'm not all networking and tech but I do have a fair understanding about both. Now to business.

My mum and I are looking at better ISP's than our current one as currently, we aren't even getting dial up speed because it's that slow. So, I use a lot of Xbl, video streaming (e.g. youtube) and play a fair amount of multiplayer. What I need to know if
how to measure how much data I'm using on a daily, weekly, fortnightly and month basis to determine how much data I'm using from just Xbl, video streaming and multiplayer so we can choose the right plan. My dad is too stubborn to go with a new provider unless
I can somehow push to get a better ISP.

Dial up here starts at least 28.8kb/s and we can't even get up to 15kb/s.

Now keeping in mind, I'm from Australia and we have pretty crappy internet speed naturally. I've posted on my ISP's fourm about how I can do this and the moderators seem to be as useless as the ISP customer support themselves, so I figured to come here.
So my question is, how can I can I measure how much data my Xbox 360 Slim is using for all services on Xbl on a daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly basis? Will I have to bridge my laptop to find out? If so, how? I am open to any and all legal suggestions.

If this doesn't make sense, I apologize. It's the easiest way I could think of explaining this.

you need to play on an xbl profile to save your data

 

Forza data?

This is a pretty silly question but will any of my Drivatar's data from Forza Motorsport 5 be transported to Forza Horizon 2, or will that game start with entirely new data for my Drivatar on my XBL account? Cause I've sucked a lot of FM5 and I kinda want FH2 to be a fresh start for me data wise.

 

Hey Bigdanzo!

I honestly don't know of any way to measure how much data you are consuming while using Xbox services. I wish I could be more help here. That's something I would think your ISP would have specific data on. Perhaps some of our other fine Forums users have
more info or suggestions?

Anyone else have any ideas?

 

Damn, well thank you for at least trying Mister Balloons. I actually thought no body would notice to try and help me out.

But anyone got anything for me?

 

You won't find any app on the marketplace capable of doing this. I can say that with certainty. How is your xbox connected to the internet? Wireless router? Wired router?

My Netgear WNR 2000 router has a built in traffic meter. I can see data usage in the formats you requested (daily, weekly, hourly, etc) per connected device if I wish. Perhaps your router has a similar function?

 

Due to our Modem having a small signal range, I am using a Wifi Extender for get my xbox to be connected as well as my other devices. We have a router but it's getting it configured that I give up on.

The Extender I'm using is Netgear WN 2500RP and the router I haven't configured is Netgear WNR 1000.

 

Welp..That idea is out the window. We have similar routers. Your model-even if you configured it-traffic meter will only work for PPoe connections (DSL) not cable-DHCP. See:
forum1.netgear.com/showthread.php The TF meter on your router wouldn't work even if you were using it and I don't see the wireless range extender having the ability anyway.

The 'modem' has WiFi capability? If it's a cable modem/router, it's essentially a gateway. Out the window with the traffic meter idea. You can google your modems name/model number and see if it can do this. Probably a waste of time.

Your idea of connecting your xbox to your laptop or PC is probably the easiest at this point. I have friends that do it, but I never bothered as I had no need. I'll do some research. If you can do this, there's a ton of free traffic monitoring software-or
you could simply use Windows. Pretty sure it has bytes sent/received per adapter somewhere under Network and sharing. Someone else from this forum will chime in too, I'm sure.

 

Alright, I'll start with the link you directed me to, firstly. Yep, our ISP modem has both capabilities of Ethernet cable and WiFi. I've already been suggested that on the ISP forums and nothing comes up, not even a log of what devices were connected and
how much data was sent and received from them.

I hear it's a good idea, I just have no idea how to exactly do it. And I don't want to stuff anything up, other wise I'll never hear the end of it from my dad.
