We received an email from our home broadband carrier that, unusually, 80% of our allocation had been reached and I immediately put it down to two causes:
1. an Iphone 4 is part of the home network and is constantly used
2. we had been downloading many work related videos (often youtube) lately, compling them, then emailing them off.
But it also occurred to me that over the last two weeks SWMBO had been using her windows (

) laptop to remotely access her desktop at work where she continued to upload/download as if she was right there in her office. Both her systems have IT Dept installed remote access & firewalls and I'm now wondering if all day connections have had a significant impact on the allocated data at home. Can anyone advise?
The aforementioned geeks are the most uncooperative & uncommunicative individuals and are generally untrusted as work colleagues, so their counsel is never sought.
