Actually, monitoring would most likely not take up any bandwidth anywhere, as it would be a tap into router somewhere between his ISP and a core router somewhere. Of course its possible, but HIGHLY unlikely that such a thing is being done. Its easily done by the ISP or anyone one Jim's subnet, but outside of that, its nearly impossible for the average schmo to get anywhere near a place that and then even identify which lines to tap and write a program to reassemble all the packet segments. Its fun to think about though and if you have access to the right building and have the right equipment (usually any old PC will do) you can do it with a bit of knowhow and patience. I recommend reading "The Cuckoo's Egg" for some pre-internet cyber-spy true crime fun.
