Is it possible to turn off automatic updates on Google Chrome OS?

Our school has about 12 Asus Chromebooks (Google Chrome OS). Our internet connection is 1 Mbps down / 0.5 Mbps up and whenever the computers are switched on, the internet speed crawls to a standstill.

I'm not sure exactly what is causing it (because I haven't analyzed the network traffic) but am assuming that the Chrome OS automatic updates is likely responsible.

Is it possible to turn off automatic updates on Chrome OS?

If you are managing the devices via a Google Apps Admin console, you can do this with Device settings. This process is detailed here under 'Restrict Google Chrome version to at most'.
