Those graphs prove that most people could get away with home fiber starter (90% of the time) 

 

 

I could too. Until I want to download a PS5 or steam game. That is when I need gigabit internet ;-)  And the ~400Mbps upload is handy with a Plex server.

 

As someone else pointed out the Mikrotik graphs are 5 minute averages. Which is why I ended up rolling my own with Prometheus and Grafana to get some more fine grain values.

 

 

Hence my 90% of the time comment, as soon as a big game release or ISO download takes place which is 10% of the time (if that)

The mrtg cron job runs every 5 minutes.

My ISP has a few utilisation graphs to view, daily and weekly shown below.  But also does monthly (but gets a bit hard to see).  But the time period cant scroll, its just what you see.

No idea if Voyager offer anything... assuming not its going to depend on a few things:
* Whats your hardware?
* Whats your technical capabilities (because its likely you'll have to build something yourself)

For example: I use a Mikrotik router and am using a Prometheus exporter to grab statistics. With grafana in front of Prometheus I can get this graph of network usage:


As it happens Mikrotik also grabs its own stats. So I also have these graphs: 

 

 

 

 

 

I love this. Might have to revisit the Prometheus \ Grafana \ Docker setup again.

 

Last time I attempted it, I couldn't get alot of the stats to show in the dashboard. 

 

Which one did you use for Mikrotik on Grafana? And are you using it in a Docker Compose environment?





The little things make the biggest difference.
