| 1452092 | 2018-07-28 03:45:00 | Hi team, haven't been around for a while. :D I rarely use my cell phone as a hotspot but it is important when I do. The last two times I did this (a month apart in each case) the laptop gobbled up 1GB of data in a 20 minutes. No youtube, no large pics, no simple answer for me. The laptop is configured to only freely download when not on a metered connection. Maybe I missed a setting. Or maybe a hotspot isn't known as metered. I do normally have a lot of Firefox tabs open but they are usually up to date. Any thoughts? Cheers Winston |
