For those of us who work from home and have Comcast, this would appear to be a great solution. But I’ve found that this type of application can only monitor TOTAL traffic across a network connection and cannot differentiate local network traffic from internet traffic. My music and videos are stored on a MS Home Server and hence all that traffic, including printing and nightly backups, are all lumped into one bucket for the Gigabit Enet connection.

What we really need is an application smart enough to know which traffic is going out to the internet and which is staying on the local network.
