mConnection (beta)
Take the Internet traffic under your control!!

This is definitely not an application that I’ll use at all, maybe the part that shows the current connection speed but traffic counter is something that I really don’t need. I just don’t care about monthly bandwidth, T-Mobile's web 'n' walk data tariff simply rocks, I got a few gigabytes for few euros and therefore I am quite satisfied with the inbuilt counter that shows amount of megabytes used since the last reset, but.. . .

If you have an expensive cellular data plan and you can only dream about unlimited gigabytes this small utility might be useful for you.

How often did you have a low account with a thought in your mind “Ah, with two minutes internet browsing my account would not get empty”. And how often did you have to switch on a preinstalled connection manager to check the amount of megabytes used? How often did you meter a speed of your connection?

Think about it – it is uncomfortable, isn’t it? Well, now there is a freeware application for Symbian 9 Series 60 devices, which shows the amount of used traffic and current speed of your connection.

mConnection is a simple, friendly network monitoring tool, its primary function is to count and display how much data you are transferring over the network interfaces on your phone.

It monitors traffic of any access point on your phone and displays numerical download and upload speeds in real-time in the nice popup window that appears only when there is an active net connection.

It logs bandwidth use and provides how much bandwidth was used and the upcoming version it will be possible to divide data by each network connection on your phone in a daily, weekly and monthly view.

Current version is a first public beta 0.01 and it should works with any Access Point of your device.

Current version can:

• show common amount of received and sent data;
• show common transfer speed;
• show data on top of all the windows;
