No, you've been found out, and that was meant as an informal warning.
Use Google Chrome and do the following:
1. Install Ad block (this remove all those annoying adverts).
2. Disable images (can be done via settings).
That should reduce your data to just text which will made a big difference to bandwidth, assuming that's what they are measuring..
montarius - you've still got time for an edit before the ban hammer falls.

+1. They've noticed (or just started to care) what you're doing, they want you stop, this was an easy way of giving you a heads up.
wwaswas - why is that ban worthy?? Am I missing something??
Looks like someone changed my post anyway...
Tell them your network card is playing up,
they sometimes will bombard the network with packets causing lots of traffic, then when you get a new machine, by the It manager presents and keep him on your good side.

I'm not going to get any more involved than this as I've had a ban for even mentioning the possibility in the past.
I see, I wasn't aware. :/ Apologies
Did you ask what the prize for top user is?
Bi monthly visits to dole Q followed by male stripping to try and get a grand in your back pocket.
I almost crippled the network at my work once by having a rather aggressive (but v.handy) google desktop installed. It went off at night and indexed the network 🙂
There used to be huge problems with Tweetdeck, for example.
The New York Times network ground to a halt due to the number of staff running it - over half the available bandwidth was being used by what was for most people a background task.
Do you have any 'always on' apps or web pages running that might be tootling off and doign auto refreshes regularly?
