Well, all of our customers are residential, no businesses. Everyone comes back to this office (the headend) and then to our provider and on to the Internet. We get charged according to the bandwidth consumption from us to them (AT&T) across our fiber. I just want to eliminate as much of that traffic as possible without re-configuring all my customers. Thanks for the advice I will begin my search..
