My cellphone provider is the only one in the Netherlands that is using 3G, so a lot of business people use them as provider. Funny thing is, in cases you're better of with the 2nd best choice as this provider also has all the 'cool kiddies' as customer who find it very important to do little else than send each other links to youtu.be ... all day long .. except when at school (thankfully those are roughly the same as business hours).

I have however been told (unconfirmed) that they now have a wee bit of a filter build in that makes streaming get less prio over other stuff, like reading your email or regular browsing.

Streaming is one thing that could help reduce bandwidth consumption, It has evolved in an unfortunate manner, used to be you clicked a movie to download it all, and then watched it. Now it seems fashionable to prevent people from storing movies on their local system and force them to download it again for every viewing. Totally annoying for people with low bandwidth who cannot dl fast enough to watch the movie "live" and a deliberate waste of bandwidth for everyone else.

Ahhh, if you let it run for a few minutes, the concentration of crap drops to nil.

The good thing about sitting in the sun and/or high heat, is you will naturally let it run awhile to drop the temp. The huge danger is from drinking immediately from a hose that has been sitting in the shade or in a comfortable temperature.

Some water bottles have similar dangers. Consider they are transported in the back of hot trucks. Scary eh?
