I use my bandwidth for a lot of uses. Too many to list but a few examples the normal web/email, streaming audio/video, remote admin, video messaging with family/friends, online gaming with VOIP, obtaining game demos (which seem to be averaging ~500Mb these days). The only one that is questionable in legality is the downloading of TV series not yet available in the UK from Usenet. All of the above LEGALLY eat bandwidth.
There are members on this board who know what my home network comprises. Many SME's would love the setup I have. Unfortunately mantenance/updates alone can chew up many MB's a week. |
If you are using multiple windows PCs, and have access to a windows server, to save at least some bandwidth, you might look in to Microsoft's Software Update Services (
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserv...s/default.mspx). It downloads all windows updates to a cache on one server. You can then direct the auto update service on Windows to look at that server. If you have multiple Windows PCs, it will save some bandwidth as you won't be downloading multiple copies of patches. You can control what patches are installed as well.
