Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can limit usage of iPlayer? We have 15GB per month which gets eaten up fairly quickly by the kids watching Eastenders Cbeebbies. There is a low bandwidth options but educating a 5yr old to select this is proving tricky.
Any tips would be appreciated.

If you have unrestricted access to the internet then youngsters need supervision.
Vista offers limited control of usage to a selected user profile with it's Parental Controls.

Maybe PN could cap your line (if you want this!)?

Whilst it cant throttle the NIC it would allow you to block access to iplayer live.
You could for instance block www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/playlive/ either totally or for certain times of the day.
Hope that helps
