Help me out with 500 plan

[thianpa]

Hi, I wanted to get me the Home 500 plan. I browse websites alot and I'm wondering if 500 is the right one for me. I will try to only browse normal websites that dont do any video streaming and will not download anything untill 2 am - 8 am. So if i only browse websites but heavily and do not do any download or streaming. Will i still excess ? I need your experience from this. Please tell me how much bandwidth do you normally used with 500 Plan.

This plan should be suffice for you... Unless U use any video streaming or downloading at day time, Home 500 plan is the best deal... Make calculations that u need to surf for 83-85 MB/day.. Probably this is more than enough for browsing.. Dont worry go get it... If u still feel it is its not enough for u to browse even, just use it for one month & shift to any other plan like unlimited one..

it all depends on what websites you browse, i mean if the websites contain heavy graphics then u need to be careful. And if u want to download a lot and dont have patience, then home 500 is right for you.

U can use firefox and save bandwidth a lot. The ad-block plus and flashbock extensions of fiefox helps in blocking ads and flash content in websites.

For adblock plus: Download AdBlock Plus Download FlashBlock Open the link in firefox (automatic installation)... Or if u use any other browser, download the file & open it with firefox for manual installation.

You can also download DATAFOX to check your usage. It will appear in the status bar.

Once a student friend of mine come with heavy bill(plan250) saying he never used such amount of usuage,only occassional browising nothing else. i had to believe him...when I ask him further, he says, he enabled the automatic updates features in Windows XP as well as, update features in his Anti virus, even he is not browsing, lot of flicking on the adsl modem..I give him PCLOS live cd for browsing and advise him not to use internet in windows, after one month he return to me with a request, to install linux in his PC, be cause that month he only used 200 mb (out of 1GB) (but I need his father's permission)If you are a 250 plan than , disable the automatic updates features in Windows, and updates purpose use Autopatcher(many computer magazines included this in their monthly issues)Or you can safely browse in Linux!!!
