I discovered that we had a handful of users who were spending 5 to 10 hours a week looking at YouTube or CNN or Facebook. I even discovered that one person was running an eBay business on our network. I had a talk with each of these people. Once the word got out that I’m watching where they go online, people quickly stopped abusing their Internet access and our employee productivity increased.
