Skype Bandwidth Advisory
If you use Skype for VoIP calls be aware that it could be using more bandwidth than you think. This is all part of the distributed system that makes Skype possible but if you pay extra for bandwidth over a certain level you could find your "always connected" broadband ISP charges a little outrageous.
The simple solution is to not install Skype to run when Windows starts - in this way you can control the period when it is on for you not the rest of the universe.
You could also disable the service when not in use via the Task Manager.
