Though there are lot of plans offered by several Internet Service Providers from Basic to Unlimited Internet Usage. So; those who prefer Basic Internet plan for limited data uses many times stuck in the middle of month as sometimes it seems that they have used up all Internet data usage alloted to them even though they are very choosy to site selection. Thus; in confusion they have to pay more or need to change their Internet plan; but in case; if ; internet means checking only mails or surfing social sites then even without changing data plan you can get full benefits from the basic plan. You only need to follow the simple steps as given below:
Windows Automatic Updates: This is by default is automatically on by the windows installation though it helps in increasing Internet security. But, this online security proves costly when you have the limited bandwidth considered. So turning windows automatic updates can help to save a lot of Bandwidth usage of Internet Broadband and thus saving your data surfing.
To turn on Windows Automatic update, Go to Control Panel -> Windows Update. In sidebar, click “Change settings”. In new dialog box, click on “Never check for updates” and hit OK.
Firefox Updates, Firefox browser updates itself frequently. So, it is better to turn it off. You can do this from Tools -> Options and using “advanced” tab and then “update” tab.
# Adobe Reader and Adobe Flash player are similar example whose update needs to be stopped to save bandwidth. Similar other services need to be operated to stop their update.
Though there are also other application which automatically looks for the updates whenever they get an online connection you should manually check for whatever an application its automatic updates disable.
I hope by applying the some of the above trick you can save a lot of your bandwidth usage for further surfing and thus reducing your online billing burden.
