If you are looking for landline connection then go for Airtel. No downtime, no complains, good support. I strongly recommend it to everyone as we are using it at office for more than 2 years now and I hardly called them couple of times for some issue. The problem could be feasibility. As they spread network underground only so it's not available everywhere for now.I have used reliance broadband couple of times but had to discontinue due to connectivity issues and very poor customer support. (An example of their support response - 4 hours of reliance = 45 hours of common man) For wi-fi connection Spidigo is there but there is no reliability. If you are lucky then you will get good speed all the time or will keep calling their poor customer support. Try a demo first before choosing it. Also, I think it has got plans for 3+ months only so you will end up paying for many months and even if it's not working properly you won't be able to change it. So be careful. (I have written one harsh review few years back on spidigo and got so many people complaining for the same - Spidigo -> Let it go away speedily) MTS is emerging as good option now. My colleague is using it and he is getting very good downloading speed. So you can opt for this. Again, they provide a demo so call them for demo at home, test it from each room of your home/office and confirm that it's working fine. Then only go for it. I have used reliance netconnect+. It has got fluctuated speed. In the evening and at night I used to get very low speed with frequent disconnection while in the morning time I used to get very good speed sitting at same location!!! I think they have bandwidth issues. Let's us know which one you choose and how your experience is after 2-3 months :-)
Hi there, If your asking how much $$ it costs depends by each carrier. If your asking what you can do with 5GB, it all depends on what you do! Some websites, apps and various internet services take up different amounts of data. But I did find a data calculator, just input the amount of data you have, and input what you'll be doing with it ex. Facebooking, streaming, downloading etc. and it'll tell you how many hours/mins you'll be able to use to take up 5GB. I just put in Facebook and it said you'll be able to do 204 hours of face booking with 5Gb (not including videos), Pretty good! It's a boring life but not bad! LolData calculator: http://www.confused.com/mobile-p...Cheers,
If my internet provider charges me based on how many GB's i use, can i use a vpn and become anonymous and it will appear im not using wifi?
A VPN still transfers the data through your ISP. It will then have to go through a proxy server as well to go back out onto the Internet to your target website. If the VPN encrypts the data into the same size packet, then there will be a small increase in the amount of data your ISP sees as the address of the server providing the VPN service in addition to the size of the packet if it was not using a VPN/proxy service. There is no guarantee that the encrypted data will be the same size as the data you are currently transferring. The VPN might include extra check information to guarantee that there is no corruption in the transfer across the VPN. In this case there would be extra data being passed across the VPN. For small packets, this extra information could increase the amount of data your ISP sees by a significant amount. The VPN may also offer a degree of compression to the data you are sending, which would be in your favour. The amount of compression will vary depending upon what type of data you are transferring, and in exceptional circumstances could increase size again if the original data stream was already optimally compressed. Whatever the VPN does, it will make only a very small difference to the amount of data your ISP sees, and to your bill.
What does 10GB of internet mean?
Your provider will not allow you to see what sites you've been on, though they will track your usage. You can use software to determine how much data you use on each site. Facebook use will not be a problem, it uses very little space compared to music and movies. 10 GB is equivalent to 10,000 mb. The typical mp3 is say 4mb. This would allow you to download 2500 songs. The average youtube video is 10 mb (see sources) this would let you watch 1000 videos per month. Below is a good program to dl. It will let you see how much data you're using, assuming you're on windows. http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/09/09/how-to-monitor-your-internet-bandwidth-usage-in-windows/ You should be okay as long as you don't overdo it. Try to turn off your computer every night so that you aren't using data when you're not using the computer.
How much internet usage is used if you go on facebook for an hour?
Are you saying that your Internet has a limit that's why you were wondering how much would an hour on FB consume? Well, Internet usage depends on how many pages, how many images and how many videos you viewed or how much date you downloaded. A 4-minute video from Youtube with real video moving in it should consume more MBs of data, about 15-17 MB on that video alone, maybe lower or higher depending on the quality. Videos that only display image slideshows consume far less than that. Picture sizes and the number of pages you visit also vary so the MB's consumed also varies. Flash games also add to that. It also depends on how fast your Internet is. If you are using Internet with a quota, my advise is not to view so many HD Vidoes, do not download huge files or very large pictures although typical web pages and Facebook are OK. Most Internet Service Providers nowadays give no limit to Internet usage per month, they just charge you with a fixed amount per month regardless of how much you have used.
How many minutes is 2 gb of internet?
You forgot to include the bandwidth, and the device being used. 2 GB is your monthly allowed quota, allowing you download up to 2 GB without incurring extra charge. It looks like this is a mobile phone. I'd say 2 GB would go a long way. Don't think in terms of minutes. Just call the mobile company to inquire about your usage later on. I'd say with 2 GB you can easily handle all your email, do browsing as much as you want and even share some pictures within reason. Again, call the service provider in the middle of the month to get an understanding of how much data you transfer.
It means you can only download 10GB of data, or 10,737,418,240 bytes per month. After this they will either charge you for more, stop your connection, or slow it down significantly. 10GB is usually sufficient for one person browsing the web without watching videos, e.g. email, Facebook etc, but video can consume a large amount of data, depending on the quality of the video.YouTube usually has its videos in multiple quality versions, up to the full quality originally uploaded. The higher the quality, the more data each frame of video consumes (the specifics are very technical so I'll leave it out). What I'm guessing is happening is that you have a reasonably fast connection, and that YouTube is set to "Auto" quality settings, so will choose the highest quality video stream. This then uses up your data very quickly.If you are going to be watching programmes over the internet, then I would suggest you upgrade your limit or get an unlimited connection. Alternatively you could manually set the videos you watch to a low quality setting to minimize data use, but this isn't going to be great for watching documentaries!There are some good answers about how much actual data YouTube video uses here: How much data does a YouTube video consume?I had a similar problem when I had a 4G phone with a small (1GB) data cap. Every video site would bump its streams up to highest quality as the connection was very fast, but then I was using up a month's limit in less than an hour!I have a family of four, and we watch a bunch of videos online a month (including downloading video to our STB) and typical monthly consumption is around 150GB.
Is 5 gb of internet per month enough?
We just moved from ATT dsl to uverse. There are 3 of us here. We consistently went over our cap of 150 gigs per month on dsl. We all game, 2 use youtube, and at certain times of the year I watch eagle cams. I also work from home. I sincerely believe their bandwith monitors are screwy. ATT has this "see how much bandwith you might use" thingy on their site and it showed that we would use very little. Ha. They lied. Or, they're taking folks for a ride. After being charged the 50 buck overage fee, I blocked all access to youtube, and quit watching eagle cams. I cut down my gaming to an hour a week, another cut his gaming down, and allowed my son to play normally. I also turned off wireless, so no devices could use the internet. We did this for a month. Still got the overage fee. In fact, they send out warnings at like 60% and 90% and it showed usage higher than the previous months!
As the other answer said, it depends on how you do using your data traffic. Based on your mention about "5G data", I can see you are talking about the total bytes of data through the 4G LTE network from your cell phone. 4G LTE provides both high speed data and voice traffic. The traffic is passing around in packets in LTE. Voice is in a separte channel called Voice over LTE (VoLTE). Other traffic is considered as data including data consumed when you browse the Internet, watch video, even making voice calls in Skype, Facetime, etc. When they calculate the usage, your ISP will blindly add all the data bytes that are passing through your cell phone except the VoLTE traffic which is separated counted as over-the-air minutes allowance.It is very difficult even for your service provider to tell you how many minutes of internet usage with 5GB data. Again, this depends on how you use the internet. However we can estimate the worst case, that is, if you download at the maximum full speed, here is the rough calculated estimate based on the CNET's LTE throughput test report 4G LTE showdown: How fast is your carrier?. The CNET test is more than one year old. The following calculation is already factored in roughly 20% control packets that are counted by ISP but not by a regular throughput test.The number of seconds to download 5GB data: AT&T : 1816.96 seconds, that is, just over half hour, to consume all 5GB dataVerizon: 2165.78 secondsSprint: 16107.15 seconds, close to 4 and half hours, the slowest speedT-Mobile: 1464.28 seconds, the fastest of the 4 ISPs.
