[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1807514, member: 110816"] The installation of SurplusMeter shouldn't adversely affect the wake time. As far as slow down of your Internet connection goes, depending on how the app is monitoring your connection, that might have a small impact but I can't imagine it's big enough for you to notice a perceptible slow down. At the end of the day, if you are really into your available capacity, your ONLY recourse might be to unplug Ethernet (turn off WiFi) when you don't specifically intend to use the Internet. Once you do connect, realize that a lot of apps will try to catch up (depending on what's running) and you will have similar issues. As others have mentioned, all the systems/apps are moving toward a world of unlimited fast Internet with little to no constraints and working within that world is going to get harder and harder.
