From what I know, I can definitely say that if you are from a reputed school, and have a decent GPA, it's a complete waste of time and money taking the GRE CS subject test; most of the top US schools won't even care about them.
However, if you are not from a well-known school and/or your GPA is on the lower side, a very good subject test score may make your application stronger.
If Cable/DSL ISPs provide an option of 'unlimited' or 'pay by volume of data downloaded/uploaded', it will solve the problem of people who would like a cheaper always-on connection.
