| 3 | How many gigs are you currently consuming per month, that will give you some idea how much you need to be concerned about junk emails. skull - 2020-11-20 16:59:00 |
| 4 | al good so far. do you of a raffic meter(free) that can be hecked by more than a day.My provider does this.

| 5 | 20 gigs is heaps if you are not watching much video or doing too much downloading. 20 gigs should be sufficient for general browsing. tygertung - 2020-11-20 18:34:00 |

| 8 | Some providers may not count Facebook and/or TM but I"d be suprised if that was the case. EVERY thing you read, look at listen to etc is 'downloaded'. What uses the most internet data ? Video with sound (including Skype video calls !) Reading the news wont use a lot. If you read Stuff news be very careful that you turn all autoplay videos off. As per what Dave says above - anything you look at is in fact downloaded. You're not looking through a window into the internet it's coming into your house and being delivered.

| 9 | thanks lady beautifully explained how to turn all auto videos Off? only plan on one hour video calls per month why I want a cheaper deal is simply my objection to paying for something I never use. lilyfield - 2020-11-20 20:09:00 |
| 10 | Have you looked at and considered Skinny Jump? $5 for 30g and you can renew this five times per month ie $25 for 150g. lancslass - 2020-11-21 07:13:00 |
| 11 | Is isn’t this for phones only ? lilyfield - 2020-11-21 08:37:00 |
| 12 | It is easily possible to stay well under 20 Gigs a month. However I would strongly suggest that you do NOT go with a plan than occurs a major cost if you go over the 20 Gigs. A simple mistake such a leaving the wrong thing running with a video or a visitor coming and watching netflix / youtube on their laptop for a couple of days could cost you more than you save in several years. Maybe you should say what plan you are looking at getting duncb - 2020-11-21 09:25:00 |

Does windows updates really use that much? Wow! AV is no longer required for windows as it is built in now, and never required for Linux. Don't know about Apple Macintosh. tygertung - 2020-11-21 13:48:00 |

No. You could find this out very easily by looking it up. Very few people would need 30GB per month, (or indeed - up to 150GB per month which is what they allow at max), on a phone and anyway they mention that you can have the 30GB per month plus a landline. Why would they bundle a landline with a data plan for a mobile phone. Also they mention a modem, which they supply and MUST be used at ONE nominated address. Obviously this is NOT any kind of phone plan. https://www.skinny.co.nz/jump/home/ Edited by nice_lady at 2:52 pm, Sat 21 Nov nice_lady - 2020-11-21 14:46:00 |
