        Unless you've got a SUPER fast connection internet traffic will never put a
noticeable dent on LAN performance. Most LANs out there at 100Mbps, the
faster internet connection I can get (without an insane amount of money) is
at max 3Mbps, ONE way, so even if you've got 100% utilization of your
internet connection you've still got many megabits per second of bandwidth
left. TTYL
