Stay on Top of Your Bandwidth Usage – Web.AppStorm →
Chris recently moved to a new home in a rural area without access to broadband internet service:
Anyone who has to access the Internet via Satellite or through a mobile network (3G, HSPA etc.) knows that in these cases, the more you use, the more you pay. I went from a broadband user who paid $40 per month and used 8 GB of data per month on average. After the move and switching to a HSPA network, the same data usage would cost me approximately $175 per month.
Obviously, this is a disadvantage to my more simplistic, rural living. But as someone who runs a business via the Internet, being online is a necessity. I immediately started to look at ways I could reduce my bandwidth usage each month.
He goes on to provide some very good tips here. I can imagine a lot of areas where this info could come in handy – MiFi, phone tethering, or other restricted data plans for instance. Good info to tuck away for those reasons alone.
