I've been looking for a widget that will monitor the total amount of
data sent and received over my broadband connection. I've had a hunt
around but can only find widgets for specific isp's. Is there a widget
that will work for any isp i.e. just monitor the amount of traffic
from my mac?

Thanks for any help.

Not a widget, but
netstat -b -I en0, where  en0 is the interface of interest, will show
the number of bytes in and out.

Many thanks, but how do I implement that?

Open a Terminal window ant type it.

If you want to save it as a double-clickable application:
Open a new Terminal window
Select Terminal Preferences.
Set the font and color as you choose.
Enter the command in the shell pane.
Export the settings.
