I had a colleague who is using residential cable modem and they sent him
emails complaining that he was consuming too much bandwidth (it was because
his system had caught a virus which was sending voluminous amounts of
spontaneous email, and he didn't know about it). RoadRunner was kind enough
to advise him of what was causing the excess traffic, and he was able to
virus scan and eliminate the problem.
