My connection is a simple DSL type with 160k down and 60k up.  I've been very frustrated with Pogoplug several times for consuming all my Internet bandwidth and simply disconnected it.  Immediately, my Internet speed returns to normal.  This is really not acceptable.  It's made worse, because I don't know why.  There have been many times were the network lights are flashing a lot and I know that no one is using it.  I can't see what's going on with it.

Since, this happened that router died and I purchased a small business router that will limit up/down speeds based on IP and assigned the Pogoplug a static IP to keep it from consuming everything.  This is fine for me.  My brother, cousins, grandmother, etc. would just be pissed and the leave the box disconnected.  The new router is great for keeping the Pogoplug in line.
