If all your PCs are Windows you can use NetWorX to record your usage. You can set the peak and off-peak times and it will record data for each. It also has the stats on an hour by hour basis. Best of all it communicates across your LAN and will show the total usage. What it won't show is incoming data hitting your router and not being forwarded to a PC.

Ok Jelv...................Yes all windows 7 here, so will look at the info, thanks...............Roger

Cheers jelv, I'll have a play with Networx at some point, on first impression it does seem more user friendly than Wireshark.

Different purpose I'd suggest. NetWorX is brilliant for checking the total traffic and identifying when traffic is occurring. If you see traffic in NetWorX when you think there should be none, then is the time to step in with Wireshark to identify what it is.
Edit: It was a post from Bob P. that first put me on to NetWorX.
Edit 2: ... and NetWorX beats seven bells out of tbbMeter which is a crock of ****!

Yep, I found out about tbb meter the hard way, by suffering it for about 5 mins was more than enough!
