If you have a Linksys WRT54G you might be able to get a away with putting Wifi-Box firmware on the router and enabling SNMP and use an SNMP client and monitor the bandwidth.

That's alright, I'm not in Canada either.

Also you can probably use an MTRG monitor, those are really made to monitor bandwidth straight from the switch.

if your linksys router (you did not give model) supports snmp - not all of them do. Then yes mrtg http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/ is a sweet way to monitor the traffic in and out of your router.

Just installed PRTG and it works in conjuction with SNMP on my router (Linksys WRT54G)
