Same with upstream. Alternatively, you can have Bandwidth+ display your current bandwidth usage speed. To do so, select the Speed option. Bandwidth+ will now display the current rate (speed) of bandwidth being used by your Mac. As you can see in the example below, I was downloading at 2.1Mbps when I took that screenshot. View in Mac App Store. Network Speed Monitor is a simple and easy-to-use application to display your current network speed in status bar, including the downloading and uploading data.
Kiwi in Montana, Best App Ever Been having problem with my data usage. Had not found an easy way to monitor data usage on my MacBook Pro’s and iMac. Just bought a new lap top and had not turned off auto update for apps.

This used up all of my data in the first day of billing cycle. How all I have to do is look up at the task bar to see how much data each machine is using, real time monitoring. You will have to combine the usage from all your devices. For me a God send, no more fighting with the phone company. If I could I would give it 10 Stars.

I have subscribed to a new ISP and I am experiencing problems with this new ISP. The problems are several micro interruptions on the internet connection, kind of lags, that is probably related to timeouts on their proxies or in my connection to their network.
As these micro interruptions occur at random, I cannot prove that, because every time they send a technician to my office the problem is not detectable, specially because the service may be stable for 3, 4 hours and then start to show the problem again. It is very annoying for two reasons. I am downloading something and then the download stops suddenly and I have to start again. Another reason is that I use a VoIP box connected to my phone using ethernet and this VoIP box loses connection every time, and my VoIP phone stops receiving/making calls, forcing me to restart the box every time I detect it and to stay hours with the phone down, without noticing. My question is: How can I monitor the internet service for a period, telling me when the service is down, plot a graphic or something like that? Any tool or some way for monitoring the quality of the network or connection that can run on a Mac? My idea is to have something to show them and prove I am right.
If you use the following: ping -A -i 10 -apple-time 10.20.30.40 monitor.txt It will run continuously until stopped and ping every 10 seconds to 10.20.30.40 (change for your address) The -apple-time means that it will log the time of each ping so you can see failures. Like so: 11:01 64 bytes from 10.20.30.40: icmpseq=0 ttl=58 time=27.744 ms 11:50 64 bytes from 10.20.30.40: icmpseq=1 ttl=58 time=9.757 ms 11:36 64 bytes from 10.20.30.40: icmpseq=2 ttl=58 time=10.150 ms 11:32 64 bytes from 10.20.30.40: icmpseq=3 ttl=58 time=11.779 ms 11:46 64 bytes from 10.20.30.40: icmpseq=4 ttl=58 time=11.254 ms. Ping To monitor internet connection, you can simply use ping command.
It just sends ICMP ECHOREQUEST and expects the response. Ping your router IP, when it's not responding, you can report to your ISP as internet interruption. If your router has firewall, use arping instead, or simply chose another remote host, e.g. $ ping 4.2.2.1 PING 4.2.2.1 (4.2.2.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 4.2.2.1: icmpseq=0 ttl=57 time=37.710 ms 64 bytes from 4.2.2.1: icmpseq=1 ttl=57 time=32.051 ms Arping To monitor your physical connection to the router, you can use arping, e.g. $ sudo arping 192.168.0.1 This is especially useful when your WiFi keeps dropping and your router doesn't respond to standard ICMP packets.
Install via Brew ( brew install arping). Tcpdump There is tcpdump which can dump traffic on a network. For example to dump all outgoing packets into port 80 and 443, the syntax could be: sudo tcpdump -i en0 port http or port https To write into the file, add -w file, then read it via -r file. This will include exact timestamps of each network packets being received or sent. To check whether the internet is interrupted, look for (in Flags section) which your computer sends, and for each one the server should reply with a SYN-ACK. If that is not happening and there is no any traffic going back (just SYN packets, then there is no internet connection).
