Hello,

I have a question about my internet usage... At my second house I have internet with a max usage of 75GB which I can use at a speed of 10mbps... After 75GB I still can use my internet but at a speed of 1mbps...

When I look into my router/modem I can see the usage... However there is a receive (bytes) and transmit (bytes) which one is the one that shows how much I have been using my internet.

Yup. That's what you have to do. They're talking -total- bandwidth used, both up and down. Generally most people have about a 50-1 download/upload ratio, so for the most part, your upload is a negligible part of your bandwidth usage.

Generally, Receive + Transmit = total usage.
