Use less bandwidth

What shall average end users do in times of severe Internet disruption. I can figure out several ways to help :

1. Stop using P2P software;
2. Configure email client to use plain-text instead of html (html-based contents involve unnecessary bytes which are for cosmetic effects);
3. Do not access streaming videos site such as video.google.com and youtube.com;
4. Do not use ftp services;
5. Do not attach files in email;
6. Do not use VoIP phones;
7. Do not use web cam in MSN.

You may argue these are crazy ideas. But think carefully, if everyone use less bandwidth in times of crisis, we can still maintain the most essential Internet communication services.
