The usage reports help you to calculate the charges associated with the contracted Bandwidth and Voice services consumed by the occupiers or account (operator) at your site or sites.

The month-to-date report describes how much use has been made of Bandwidth and Voice on a daily basis, including details of charges, allocations, and allowances if there are any. You can also look back to previous monthly reports.
