Hi, you've mentioned YouTube, and I suppose you use Flash version of it, not HTML5 one [1]. Please find out the Flash player plugin version you're currently using [2]. Please also try to disable Flash plugin (at Tools -> Add-ons -> Plugins), and see if the bandwidth problem persists (the negative side-effect for Flash-requiring sites is obvious).
