The web hosting company doesnt really care what takes up the bandwidth as its your bandwidth - they only really care when you go over it as quite rightly they expect you to pay for it if you exceed your monthly agreed limit .
To keep your bandwidth down try and keep any media as small as possible. Optermise your pics and any video to the smallest file size you can get away with and not lose to much quality (if any).
