Netflix
Even though Netflix accounts for a lot of the bandwidth, that doesn't necessarily mean it accounts for all the time-- because the files are obviously much bigger. Aka you could spend an hour downloading Netflix or you could spend an hour reading an online newspaper. Regardless I still plan to try out Netflix soon.. just not yet!
