Aussie Broadband Usage Meter displays provider-reported broadband usage in a configurable bar-based Rainmeter skin. It distinguishes limited and unlimited plans, showing allowance-related information or projected monthly consumption as appropriate. Setup prompts choose the visual style, font size, and service name, while separate instances can monitor multiple services or accounts.

What this skin includes

  • Offers four style choices and three font-size choices.
  • Limited plans show allowance statistics in tooltips.
  • Unlimited plans show projected monthly usage in tooltips.
  • A red usage bar indicates being over the expected quota for that stage of the month.
  • Supports multiple services and separate accounts.

Setup and limits

Install Rainmeter 4.5.18.3727 or newer and run Aussie Broadband Usage 0.84.rmskin. Load abb.ini if it does not load automatically, then refresh the skin to begin setup. Follow the prompts for account authentication, style, font size, allowance override, and service name. Refresh again if the initial display remains blank.

Requires an Aussie Broadband account and the provider's portal/API authentication flow. The author reports usage data can lag by up to an hour. The documented scripts use cookies and refresh tokens; password changes require ABB-Clean.vbs and setup again. Older skins do not work with the newer scripts. Current Windows-build compatibility has not been independently verified; this research did not install or execute the skin.
