Windows was consuming loads of my download data, fuck knows what for.

Background updates of all the minor services running. I only had 360kbit/s for a while two years ago and windows could take a few hours until it was finished. You usually don't notice it but I literally couldn't use the internet until windows decided it was done.

they still sell dsl that slow here.. and of course the telephone company charges those people even more than they do in town for 20-60mbit dsl or 100-1000mbit fiber.

When using Sunshine/Moonlight to stream games to our Apple TV, you can guarantee that if it begins to stutter it's because Windows is downloading something in the background.
