..Will posting in all capital letters, eat up more bandwidth.

No, of course not. Whether uppercase or lowercase, each ASCII letter is the same byte size.

Does ASCII come in "fun-size" also?

That's true for normal characters. But not for posting upside down (dosʇıuƃ ndsıpǝ poʍu), as grjr21 did in #77. That uses weird Unicode characters that can take several bytes each to send.
