so i go to penn state, and in the dorms we are only allowed to use 4 GB of downloaded bandwith and 4 GB of uploaded bandwith a week. last week i got an email notifying me that for that week i had used 60% of my allowed bandwith. the thing is, i just started playing world of warcraft. hate on it/me all you want i really couldnt give two shits. but yeah apparently thats whats taking up all my bandwith. is there any way for this to not get recorded or whatnot? if i go over my limit i get put onto 56 k internet which blows, so i dont want to do that. i have a shit ton of free time so i want to play wow during some of that, but i only played like 4 hours worth last week and used up 2.5 GBs of it. help please.

i should have said it differently in my post. i started playing AGAIN. ive played for like 3 years, but stopped the week i went to college and really ahev more free time here than i had at home. i just played on my friends account last week to see if i wanted to play the game again and remembered how fun it was.

There are no sensible ways around it, you will get in a lot of trouble by trying to dodge your ISP.  If you like playing so much, you could call up the internet provider and look into advanced data packages with a higher cap.  You will have to pay more, but you get to play more, but that's only if there are packages in the first place.
