You could also have a look at ipac (www.ipac.org).  It seems to have all 
sorts of options, including pretty graphs.  It is distributed with 
smoothwall, (if you plan to use that for your ADSL gateway/router/firewall).

I am in the middle of modifying my smoothwall front page to show
ipacsum --timeframe "this month"
exactly so that I can track monthly usage.
