For me it's mostly high-resolution advertisement images clogging up the connection. Sometimes it's posts with full images instead of thumbnails, but usually ads. The resolution is way too high for smaller browser windows and mobile devices which have to downsize the images after burning all that server bandwidth needlessly.
Solution: Use a bit of scripting to figure out the ad size vs user's screen size and have several differently sized images ready to serve based on where they're being displayed. Server storage space is 1.5x the original image size (if a large image size is also saved as half sized (X x Y pixels), then half again and half again each version is 1/4 the next larger size. An automated script saves processor time (only computed once) and lots of bandwidth.
