That "like" just used up all my data allowance

I feel bad for having inflicted this upon my customer.

bizarrely, despite having a fairly agressive ICT regime (I work for a local authority) Epic TV seems to sail straight though it (unlike the ads at the top, which are stopped...).

Je ne comprends pas.

Whilst I'm glad to see this sort of sorted out I think its still a bit shit it happened. How a casual user like myself is supposed to *know* stuff like this is going to eat up data allowance (piss off ICT departments) I don't know...

The HD video that was streaming right in front of his face would have been a clue to the the fact that he was... Erm... Streaming HD Video ?

My screen is huge but even then the video is only 8cm wide, I don't know if I could tell if a video was HD or not at that size - as such a small size it wouldn't be an obvious contender for using a lot of data.

And in my case, auto load a shed load of tabs in one go (STW, snowheads, gmail, yahoo mail, bbc, etc.) and possibly leave several unattended.
Speaker on my work PC is always off. So I wouldn't have known.
Strangely on the home PC, i get no audio for the epic tv stuff (thought it might have been the setting in chrome, but if it was, how would youtube, vimeo etc. run?).
So had they not been turned off in the "P" settings, I wouldn't have known, and would also assume that any vid wouldn't loop.

Already saw the Epic TV vids anyway, when mtb-news.de posted them up (a bit like their version of midweek movies).
