About this tag
The upstream tag on WindowsForum.com covers discussions about monitoring and documenting data traffic, specifically the amount of data sent from a user's device to the internet. Users seek software or methods to measure upstream traffic over time, as ISPs often advertise speeds but not cumulative data usage. The tag focuses on practical tools and techniques for tracking upstream bandwidth consumption, which is relevant for choosing internet subscription plans and managing data caps. Topics include reliable measurement software, comparing upstream vs. downstream traffic, and understanding ISP promises versus actual performance.
