See my posts there.
I have no issues with Datafox itself, it faithfully reports the mtnl records, but what if the source itself is lagging?
Can there be a Netmeter like extension for FF, like Datafox?
You can get daily D/L u/l and total with Shaplus 1.1 ( since MTNL does not count U/L may not be useful for MTNL users )
From another thread. Check daily or weekly to keep within limit.
Why depend only on MTNL usage site ?
Tautology Bandwidth Meter - Internet Traffic Usage Monitor Try Tautology meter for upto date usage data. D/L U/L shown separately.Your NU can be excluded.

@essbebe
Thanks for that post ess. Your posts are very informative.
I am replying after a gap, as i downloaded the programs you suggested, and installed them all, for a neck-to-neck comparison.
Net-meter v1.1.3 (was already using)
Tautology Bandwidth Meter v1.5
ShaPlus Bandwidth Meter v1.5
My results of use so far:
1. The bandwidth usage recorded by all of them is by and large within same range, no major discrepancies.
2. Active memory usage of all three was ~ 2.3 MB in my comp, though memory imprint of Netmeter was more (~3 MB) than the others (~1.7 MB)
3. Net meter has two distinct advantages over the other two, that i could find:
a> It shows the current usage directly on your screen, instead of having to hover over the icon in system tray. {which i find very handy}
b> It has an option to export the totals logged so far, as a csv file that can be opened with excel. So the logged totals can be saved.
Looking forward to your (and others') views and other suggestions.
