    I'm running the Windows 10 Insider Preview

That fact kind of invalidates his whole testing regime.

Unless he goes back and tests on release of the OS and his results are the same.

A valid point.

Nonetheless, there seems to be a lot more hyperbole and paranoia than facts on the ground on this one - supposedly, there's 67 million installs of Windows 10. Assuming they're all "listening" at 64kbps, that's 8terabits per second of bandwidth that just popped up across the network... and I'm no network engineer, but I suspect there'd be discussion of that.
