Usenet customers are generally heavy bandwidth users as well.

Why, snarfing porn?

I'm a very low bandwidth customer as far as usenet goes. Connect for 20
minutes, download all my articles, hang up. If it weren't for my running
Debian and updating it all by modem periodically, my ISP would love me. (A
big update takes about 36 hours of continuous downloading... I'm patient
enough to put up with it though, and it's a damn sight cheaper than cable.)
