I've had it on since I got it with no side effects.  I just don't see the point of using the (probably miniscule) bandwith, anymore.  It would probably help things if Nintendo was still doing something significant with it but it seems to have fallen off of the map.  Luigi doesn't even send me messages in Mario Galaxy, anymore!

It had so much potential, too.  Weather conditions could have affected my Mii Plaza in real time.  People could turn on their Wii's to find comics/promotions in their inbox (the Wii Message Board).  Every day could have been Christmas!  Now, it's more of an afterthought.

Sorta strange seeing that red light that's been yellow for years, though.........


I'll agree on that. It's far less than what Nintendo promised, and even has fallen off from how Nintendo used it in the early days. Makes me wary about their promises regarding 3DS's push system.

 

But its not the bandwidth concern, but power usage. I leave mine on anyway, but that's where the benefit is.
