The IP address is also useful. If you always or most often sign in to your blog account using a single computer, your IP address should be the same, or start with the same two sets of numbers (for example, 125.16.xx.xx). If you’re seeing an IP address that differs greatly from your usual IP address, it could either mean that you’ve recently accessed your account from a different location, or that someone has accessed your blog.

Download the zip file and unzip the file into plugin folder or mu-plugins if you are install MU Version.

For Wordpress user, just activate the plugin. No option available. You must logout and login again to see the result.

For MU user, just upload the file, nothing to activate. User logout and login will see the result at the bottom bar.

I just make a test on Maxis Broadband without browse and surfing web. Just powered on the wireless modem and monitoring within few minutes. Please see the captured image. You may found the different Total Data Received. Maxis has changed their broadband package that control by bandwidth. But seen it’s cheating data received.

And one more thing, if you are upgrading to new package, you are entitle paid upgrading fees. But if you not going to upgrade. The suck Maxis also change your package to new selling package without your permission . For example, my subscribed package has no bandwidth control, but their new package has bandwidth control. I called to customer service, the guy informed me that my account has exceed the data quota, who’s allowed Maxis change my subscribed package?  I don’t know whether Maxis has right to change our existing package to new or not? Is it mean Maxis has right to break the signed agreement? Beware if you are powered on the modem without do anything, your money is flying too…

Just received a email from Edir to fixed the problem for WPMU Admin Interface Language.  Open the file with editor or notepad, just make a mirror change. Take a look.

function admin_in_english_locale( $locale ) {

$lang = get_user_option('lang_id', $user_id);

if ( !$lang ) {
return $locale; // Change HERE
}

if( WP_ADMIN === true ) {
if ( $lang ) {
$locale = $lang;
} else {
$locale = 'en_US';
}
}

return $locale;
}

To make it works, it needs to return the actual value of $locale, used in wp-config.php, when it returns false, it returns to English in the front-end. – Edir

Thanks to Edir’s fixed the problem.
