It depends on what type of connection your using. If your using a laptop on an unsecure router that you own, you may want to check your bandwidth to see if the neighborhood is glad you pay for internet so they don't have to. Otherwise I don't see the point unless you suspect a virus or spyware may be on your computer using up all your bandwidth.
