Internet Surprise

I live in what is basically a student complex in the city centre -- and our landlord lives off the proceeds, it seems, to keep a stable of motorbikes running. We had a problem with the Internet. It was being chewed up -- hugely so -- somewhere in our complex. For this reason, the landlord kept switching the Internet router off and on again -- a big challenge for me where I rely heavily on the Internet. So I said to the landlord that I would switch on system monitors on wife E.'s and my computers, to see what was actually happening. The result was a big surprise. Most of our own Internet was being chewed up through switching the router off and on again. Possibly hundreds of megabytes a day.
