Notice my connection uses very slight bandwidth even when it is idle. This
is normal and equates to about 6KB every minute. Now assuming someone kept
their PC on 24/7 this equates to around 253MB a month! (30 day month). This
suprised me a little bit especially providers that had or have a 1GB cap.
You've used a quarter of your allowance without even doing anything!

Amazing what things you discover when you're bored out of brains such as I
am now.

Dan

no pc's fired up.
