Good luck with that request - you're going to need it :)

Thanks.

As a last resort, I *could* write a screenscraper that polls the web interface and aggregates the data in some usable form. That'll be tricky and brittle, though. The best bet is to get firmware that does SNMP or something, but that's not going to happen any time soon.

I'd suggest what I do: fairly minimal linux box with two network cards, one into the router, another into a switch, run iptables doing NAT on the linux box, write a script to monitor /proc/net/dev and work out hourly/daily/weekly/monthly use from that...

Only works if you have a spare linux box around of course.

This is yet another classic example of typical South African incompetence. Good luck finding a solution.
