METAbolt uses auto throttle and adjusts itself depending on the connection speed the user has. However it has to do what it has to do i.e. if you are in a busy SIM with lots happening and/or if you have a high radar range setting it has to upload/download all it has to do and this may result in higher bandwidth usage until all is completed and settled. Where it can't force the bandwidth any higher it will stick to the level as allowed by the Windows operating system which would mean it will take longer for things to happen such as rezzing etc. Once all is settled it will use an average of 20- 40 kbps per instance...which is miniscule.
