I'm surprised if you use a connection primarily for work that you abuse it so much.

(daytime limits are quite high).

Can you really not use RDP with 5Mbit/256Kbit ?
I use tightVNC instead, (which can comfortably handle low rates like this).
RDPs early life was application services a bit like x-windows but 10 years later, so you wouldn't think it would need a lot of bandwidth.

You might be better spent troubleshooting your VPN to find out why there is so much traffic on your home connection.
