My internet usage jumped from 1 GB per month to 5 GB. My girlfriend moved in and she uses Facebook + Myspace a lot. Neither of us has downloaded videos, music, software ISOs and such big items. I heard that many contemporary websites eat up 1 or 2 MB per hour with rotating ads and refresh and such crap. Also that they are unusable on a dialup connection. Is there anybody who monitors the popular websites and issues bandwidth hog ratings?
