Xnet is one of ISPs in New Zealand. Personally, I am enjoying use their services. However, there is one thing that I dislike after I changed to use Safari instead of Firefox. Since I am using Xnet’s FUSION plan, I would like to know how many data I have used (of course, how much I have spent). The disappointment is Xnet only provides Windows widget and Firefox extension usage monitor. In my case Mac + Safari, there is no way to keep myself up to date of data usage. At the end, I decided to write myself a usage monitor dashboard widget.

By browsing the Windows widget, I found the information I need, for example, query link and data encryption. There is not much point to go under the hood to explain the code. So here is what the widget looks like.

And the preferences (Back side of the widget)

For those of Mac users who are using Xnet as well, try it out. Download. If you found any bug, you are welcome to report it in the comment area.
