@Barry Collins That’s good to know, I’ll use an anonymous account next time I make fun of you.

@Barry
To what extent is this a reflection on the maturity of internet TV? After all you are clearly also consuming more data on your Xbox.

Fair enough, I just thought maybe you had some wonderful little utility that you were using. Not that I need the info myself, it’s just that after seeing you share yours it piqued my curiosity…

@Stuart and @John T – Zen Internet keeps all the historic data in the customer control panel.

@Craig and @David – you know I can ban people, right?

You choose what you download, so it is you, not the iPad, that does this.

@Craig

Don’t worry, he borrowed one from the Lab, for testing purposes!

I was wondering the same thing as Stuart – I was quite impressed you had access to that info. I use the free utility ‘Broadband Download Monitor’ to keep an eye on what I’m doing over the month, and I could of course have kept a record of it over time, but I’ve never even thought about keeping it before now…

You’ve monitored your internet connection since 2006? Is it an ISP freebie service or something? Mine doesn’t provide anything like that.

‘If my behaviour is even remotely typical of iPad owners’

Well, must be. The Android owners would read the Guardian, naturally!
