From there you can try WSUS Offline or run Windows Update at that point. This is what I have done for the last few 'new' machines I pulled off the shelf.

I boot the machine with the network disconnected and install the files from a usb thumbdrive. It contains the Convenience Rollup, the Pre-Convenience rollup (if needed) and the offline version of the latest monthly update. Once that is done the machine is attached to the network, rebooted, and windows update run to see what other updates are left.

We're getting a lot of new machines in that will have a base Windows 7 install that will need all the updates with them and our bandwidth is already being used up. WSUS was shot down as an idea. So I am looking for an alternative to getting all the updates at once.
WSUS can still be used. You have to configure BITS through group policy to handle those bandwidth restrictions. It's also a good way to keep your maintenance windows in check. I manage multiple large environments where I have remote Windows 7 systems on everything from ISDN to LTE WAN connections in remote areas. BITS is a lifesaver.
Bonus points if you can use SCCM:-).
