Your rails app can’t really track bandwidth, not least of all because
it’s
not generating all the stuff the user sees - there will be images or
other
media that are only linked to by rails. So, there is no built in method
to
do what you want.

You’d could rig up a filter to try to estimate for those other factors,
and
run that filter after all requests and then log its estimate.

Bandwidth is usually tracked by the web server. You might want to make
URL’s
that include the username and then process the server logs to determine
who
is using what.
