Volta,

My 2 cents here... Rather than trying to break your admin's rules, you should count yourself luck that you still have a job. At the very least, your admin could easily have you fired for stealing bandwidth. As long as THEY pay for it, its THEIR choice as to how its used.

Stealing is still stealing, whether its pens and paper or bandwidth and you can be prosecuted to the full extent of the law on this. Stay with the compant rules and follow the laws. Have a theft charge on your resume is not going to be good.
