AT&T Internet Bandwidth Utilization Reporting

Hi James,

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately this is not what I'm looking for. I simply want to see a WAN bandwidth utilization report to chart how much of my 1Gbit capacity I'm utilizing. It should be easy enough for the operations team to put together and make available to residential customers. I would be surprised if it's not available for AT&T business customers already.

@jgstockton , I initially misunderstood your request: You're looking for spot utilization during shorter periods than 1 day.  AT&T only provides 1 day resolution on their site (described below, but I think you've already seen that).

You can set up something like MRTG and collect the stats yourself.  I have a PowerShell script that queries the BGW210 for utilization information.  MRTG calls it every 5 minutes and plots the information in utilization graphs.

-- Instructions for anyone looking for accumulated usage --

go to att.com and login with your Internet account credentials.

Click on the "+" (plus sign) icon on My Internet

The "My Usage" card shows the current usage so far this month.  Click on the "See all my usage" link on that card.

Usage details shows the daily detail which can also be downloaded.  You can change the period covered using the "Showing:" selector.

Hi @jgstockton!

We'd love to look into this for you here! To fully assist with this issues further, we will need to look over your account in more detail.

I am sending you a private message (PM) to help in this matter. Please check your forums private messages and reply to my message.

I look forward to your response and the opportunity to help you!

I think everyone's a bit confused here. I have unlimited data with my 1Gbit service so I don't care how many GB I'm moving. I want to see how much of the 1000Mbit bandwidth I'm utilizing. For instance if I'm only using 300Mbit, I want to be able to see that. Something like the attached image:

Hello @jgstockton,

Unfortunately AT&T currently doesn’t offer any services for bandwidth utilization for residential customers, however I was able to find a forums post which may be of use to you.

We apologize for any inconvenience.

Yes, @jgstockton, I was initially confused, but I do get it.  As Mihai said, AT&T doesn't provide that for Residential accounts.  As I said, I use MRTG as my reporting tool to display that information.  It calls a PowerShell script that I wrote that queries the Gateway to obtain the metrics for MRTG.  For example, here's the last 30 hours in 5 minute intervals:

Bandwidth is always computed as the amount of data transferred over a period.  Very few (if any) collection systems will actually calculate it at a 1 second resolution

MRTG can be found at https://oss.oetiker.ch/mrtg. I would be happy to provide you with my PowerShell script if you would like it.

Came across this thread from a few years ago.  Is there an update on it? Does AT&T provide this capability for residential users?  Have you found anything @jgstockton ?

@sirsri I couldn't say - I've had to leave AT&T for Xfinity due to moving to an area not serviced by AT&T at the time. I would hope they have begun providing this capability but I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't. That said, the solution offered by @JefferMC above might be workable.

Thanks, @jgstockton.  I'll look into it
