Have Uverse service? Wondering how much bandwidth you use? Here is a script that plays nice with cacti, that can fetch bandwidth data from your Uverse 2-Wire 3800HGV-B Residential Gateway. See the full post for more info!
This script will use the management web page of your router to pull down bandwidth stats, and dump it out in a cacti-friendly way where it can be picked up and pumped into a graph. You can use features in cacti to generate more in-depth statistics, or put a script in cron to take a monthly stamp, subtract out the difference, and email you the result. You know, if you are into that kind of thing.
