BT DOES send you an email if you are near the limit,I had one today telling me I have used 7gb in Feb,but as you say it would be better to be able to monitor exactly how much you have used.

Try NetMeter here http://www.metal-machine.de/readerror/
It is a free tool and will monitor all traffic up and down and organise it into different categories i.e. by day, week, month etc. It even forecasts usage based on previous usage. I used it for a long time before I switched to an unlimited plan. Note that it will only monitor per-machine bandwidth, so if there are other PCs in your house then they won't be taken into account, just the one it's installed on.

You can get a rough idea by looking at the status page on your Homehub - http://192.168.1.254
It will tell you how much you've downloaded (total for all PCs if you've got more than 1) since the hub was turned on.
