I am using a modem (ZTE USB Modem FFF1) to connect to internet and I want it to disconnect automatically after completing 90 MB (Downloaded data + Uploaded Data). Can anyone suggest how can I do this. I am using a desktop computer running on Windows 8 Consumer Preview. There's no router. I am using a dial up connection to connect. I just want to limit the data usage of my internet connection, considering sent data + received data.

I see no one has to limit their DATA consumption while surfing the internet, but I want to do so.– ShanksJun 1, 2012 at 8:47

Is the 90mb the expected file(s) size you want to regularly transfrer? Like log in, transfer x files and logout. Or do you want to monitor data usage and limit it to 90mb per session? Log in, watch data flow, when 90mb transferred, disconnect.– jdhJun 1, 2012 at 10:51

@jdh Yes, exactly, I want to monitor data usage and limit it to 90mb per session. Log in, watch data flow, when 90 MB transferred, disconnect.– ShanksJun 1, 2012 at 11:00

What you are looking for is called a bandwidth monitor tool or utility. There are a few out there. However, based off a simple search, it seems one of the better (and free) ones is Softperfect's NetWorx. One of the its feature is, it's able to end a dial-up connection when a cap is reach.
