New itunes fixed nothing for me!

Question

errors 440-448-236-240 all related to:
"An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"
i just have to run itunes with bonjour service off... no need for it but this worked fine until last update never ever had an issue for years until the last version of itunes.
good luck folks because these are exact same errors in event viewer that started on last update:
posted this in itunes forum but the only way i can stop error from piling up in event viewer is turning off Bonjour Service from Automatic to Disabled
the errors come in blocks of 4 (with non consecutive numbers 540-544-548-536) when i start itunes for my iphone 3gs
this is a clean install of windows 7 professional 64 bit
never had a problem with itunes... nothing ever logged in event viewr thru xp/vista ultimat 64 bit and windows 7 until 3/31/2010 update of itunes which i never should have done... no ipad! 9.1.079 previous version 9.03 worked like a champ fast iphone backups that were like 2 minutes and now it looks as if it's freezing at times but its just going super slow like 6-8 minutes.

above message in my event viewer since i updated to this lousy release....
have had bonjour messages before but back with vista last year...new machine running solid and steadt windows 7 64 bit with a reliabilty rating from administrative tools of 10 for past months prior to this update...anyone seeing this and if so is there a fix?
first few backups took for ever on my iphone 3gs..... most go quickly again now.
don't sync too many things other than videos.
as a side note to any user who might be able to help.... i only sync "sync only checked songs and videos" in iTunes on "Summary" tab Devices>Mark's iPhone
looking in windows firewal bonjour has pretty much free reign inbound and outbound.
i use nav 2010 antivirus which unlike older versions has been great since 2009 redesign (small footprint and very little resource use) although with 12gbs ram at 1600 i don't get any issues with apps eating ram.
really would like to get to the bottom of this error as i like running a lean,mean running machine.
based on google responses i am amoung the many windows users who have had more issues with this poor apple release update than any i can remember.
so after all this is there another version of bonjour that will work with windows 7? like previous version i could install after cleaning out the new one.

still get errors!
during update i got slew of errors as it shuts stuff down and event viewer shows some as warnings but most as errors.
now after trying new itunes backups of iphones still much slower than prior to 3/31/2010 update (last one) but it at least updates.
i am not leaving bonjour service on automatic i am back to disable as errors shown as follows:

Answer 1

Brian68,
I agree the basic line charge is what is making it worse for those that just want a phone (dumb phone).
Your reasoning that it will only cost an additional $20 is not quite the way I see it.  You are forgetting that additional data will be needed for the phones.  In other words I would need to up the data to 9-10GB.  That's an additional $10-20 per month.  So I would be going from $180/mo to $260/mo for total of $1920 over a 24 mo period.  Not to mention I would likely be paying a considerable amount for the phones as the dicounted price goes down significantly as you add lines.  That being the case, factor in another $500 or so bringing the total extra cost at $2420.
When you do the math the absurdity of the pricing becomes more clear.
