IMO, System Statistics will be enough with a better tooltip:

Network Monitor may even be a duplicate when System Statistics works with network.

I think it is not completely the same, e. g. tooltip may require a mouse hover event? Or perhaps you meant this as permanent showing and updating this every now and then.

It reminds me a bit of what you can do via conky.

I meant something like a tooltip but, probably, persistent and continuously updated as long as the cursor is over the widget. Numbers take extra space -- especially two of them (download + upload) -- and are a mess on (thin) vertical panels.

It reminds me a bit of what you can do via conky.

I do lots of such things with conky and leave the panel for graphs, icons and clock. Conky can have audio/visual alarms when, just as one example, hard temp is too high for a long time, and it provides so many other possibilities...

@librewish - you are so cool - but it doesn't really solve the problem that this feature is not implemented in LXQt - and imho should not implemented, because it says nothing.
