I understand this. I think that even if the issue gets discussed
privately among yourselves progress has been made. A lot of people truly
have no idea of the disparity between suburban and rural connectivity
issues.
I think the right place to add a new setting is the network panel: you
should be able to mark a particular connection as being bandwidth
-limited. Then at the *very least* that should be used to turn off
automatic checks for updates, since we get complaints about that from
bandwidth-limited users quite frequently. I am not sure if we want to
take the route of using the firewall to prevent applications from
accessing the network; it seems reasonable since it would require
toggling a hard-to-find setting, but some design work would be needed
to make the prompts work well.

Thank you very much for your reply, Michael. In the mean time people
will keep buying me beer to sort it for them.
Cheers,
Andrew.
