Bandwidth Monitor Review by
3.0/5

Bandwidth Monitor is a small software application developed specifically for helping you monitor your network bandwidth, and gather statistics about the download and upload speed with the aid of graphs and reports. The program works with different connection types, such as modem, ISDN, DSL, ADSL, cable modem, Ethernet cards, wireless connections, and VPN, and allows you to create custom profiles for recording specific packets.

After a fast and simple installation process you are welcomed by a clutter-free environment and a well-organized suite of features. The utility reveals data about your current connection directly in the main window by displaying a graph and recording information about the current, average, current overhead, and average overhead download/upload speed.

Different colors are used in the graph. Green is shown for the download rate, while blue represents the upload rate. You cannot alter the colors of the graph.

Bandwidth Monitor offers you the possibility to configure a new connection profile by providing information about the name and IP address. You are allowed to monitor LAN packets, and apply IP and port filters.

Other important configuration settings worth being mentioned enable you to show the information in kilobytes, bytes, megabytes, or gigabytes, set the maximum value of the graph history, as well as look throughout your history for network activity based on a custom profile and date in order to gather information about the total downloaded and uploaded data.

Tests have pointed out that Bandwidth Monitor carries out tasks pretty quickly. However, it has not been updated for a long time so you may encounter all sorts of errors, bugs, and compatibility issues. It remains light on system resources so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

To sum things up, Bandwidth Monitor provides a simple software solution and comprises several useful options for keeping an eye on your bandwidth. It is suitable especially for less experienced users.
