27. Those must be huge files ... 'cause WOW is not considered a target
World of Warcraft starts out by downloading about 4G of program material. Then continuously updates (50M is not unreasonable). Then the game itself is constantly streaming.

There is always a bandwidth limit.

Did you consider that his neighbors are the ones complaining? Network bandwidth is a lot like water rights. Just because the river runs by your property does not give you all the water all the time.
