I'm just curious ... on the 'daily graph', it tells me:

Average In: 1099.5kb/s
Average Out: 2336.4kb/s

If my pipe is 3mb/s, is it safe to say that, on average, I've hit the 
limit of my bandwidth?  (I have burstable traffic) ...

For the longest time, I've been reading them as seperate #s instead of 
cumulatively ... and I just want to confirm that I *should* be reading 
them cumulative ...

Thanks ...
