Raw message 

Speed tests give results as expected, regular downloads and web browsing, 
voip, video streaming, also don't bog down the network.  Whenever 100% 
network utilization is coming from the grase hotspot router I will visit 
the "Monitor sessions" page and note that the offender (sometimes only one 
computer on the network) is currently accessing Windowsupdate or Apple 
Updates. The problem doesn't seem to be in the configuration of groups at 
all as everything is tuned down to 1.5Mbps on a 20Mbps connection but when 
updates become active it starts using around 18-20Mbps and the internet 
slows to a crawl on any other devices. This behavior doesn't stop until I 
either manually open an elevated command prompt and run "net stop wuauserv" 
or disable automatic apple updates or until the offending computer logs 
off.
