Here&#8217;s how to reduce data usage in your current plan.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"limit-video-quality\">Limit Video Quality<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>You&#8217;re likely to use lots of data if you spend a lot of time watching videos on streaming services like Netflix, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hulu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Hulu<\/a>, Disney, YouTube, etc. But it is possible to reduce the data used to stream this content by lowering the video quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, streaming at UHD (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/4K_resolution\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">4K<\/a>) for one hour consumes about 7GB. High Definition streaming (1080p) uses about 3GB for the same hour, while Standard Definition (720p) only takes 0.7GB. That is a tenth of what you would use when streaming in 4K.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"256\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-19.jpg\" alt=\"Video quality adjustment on YouTube (currently at 1080p)\" class=\"wp-image-2138\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-19.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-19-300x77.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/1-19-768x197.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Video quality adjustment on YouTube (currently at 1080p)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid ruining your viewing experience, lower the resolution to 1080p if you stream in 4K and 720p if you use 1080p video quality settings. It might mean underutilizing your 4K TV, but try to limit this feature to physical discs and flash drives or pay for the unlimited service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"562\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2-20.jpg\" alt=\"The difference between different video qualities\" class=\"wp-image-2137\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2-20.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2-20-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/2-20-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>The difference between different video qualities<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when you turn off the TV, remember not to leave your stick or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Digital_media_player\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">box<\/a> still streaming. Get into the habit of turning all of them concurrently.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"disable-auto-play-features\">Disable Auto Play Features<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Auto-playing implies new content will play after the video you watched concludes. So you can imagine the amount of data that will go to waste if you fall asleep when catching your favorite show. Therefore, remember to disable auto-play whether you are streaming music, movies, or shows on TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-20.jpg\" alt=\"A woman streaming a movie on Netflix\" class=\"wp-image-2136\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-20.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/3-20-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>A woman streaming a movie on Netflix<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Web pages also tend to autoplay ads, videos, or GIFs in a loop for long periods. And some have no sound, so you won&#8217;t hear or see what&#8217;s playing if you open multiple tabs when working. Ensure you close the unneeded browser tabs to stop these background activities from consuming your data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same applies to social media. Social media apps don&#8217;t have tabs, but they have autoplay videos that start playing as you get to them when scrolling. Disable this auto-playing feature and avoid scrolling longer than necessary once you get the latest updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4-18.jpg\" alt=\"A person scrolling through Facebook on a smartphone and laptop\" class=\"wp-image-2135\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4-18.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4-18-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/4-18-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>A person scrolling through Facebook on a smartphone and laptop<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And when signing out, close the apps and web browsers to end any background activity that might be running.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"schedule-new-video-game-days\">Schedule New Video Game Days<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Video games are right on the heels of video streaming in terms of data hogging. Technically, online gaming doesn&#8217;t consume lots of data but downloading them will. Whether you are a PC or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Video_game_console\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">console<\/a> gamer, you must be conversant with the hundreds of GBs it takes to download a new game or update an existing one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you can plan or schedule these downloads. If you observe all the tips explained in this article, you might end up with a significant portion of your package unused as you approach the end of your billing cycle. That would be the ideal time to download or update your games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5-13.jpg\" alt=\"How To Reduce Home Internet Data Usage: A gamer playing video games\" class=\"wp-image-2134\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5-13.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5-13-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/5-13-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>A gamer playing video games<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, if you go on vacation, the data you would have used during those days can go into downloading your games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another thing. Remember to exit games when done playing because their online components can remain engaged and burn data if you leave them on.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"keep-tabs-on-backups-uploads-and-security-cameras\">Keep Tabs on Backups, Uploads, and Security Cameras<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Uploads count in the data limits, so sending large files like videos or backups to cloud storage can deplete your monthly package rapidly. Automatic syncing of all files on your PC will drain your internet package, so consider syncing only the critical files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/6-7.jpg\" alt=\"How To Reduce Home Internet Data Usage: Different devices backing up their files to the cloud\" class=\"wp-image-2133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/6-7.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/6-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/6-7-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Different devices backing up their files to the cloud<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internet-connected cameras also upload live feeds to your mobile device wherever you are. You can reduce the camera feed data by doing the following.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Minimize monitoring<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set the cameras to record only when they detect motion<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reduce camera bandwidth\/quality settings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"use-lite-versions-of-mobile-apps\">Use Lite Versions of Mobile Apps<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Browsers like Google Chrome compress web pages to reduce data use. So consider using it over others like Firefox and switch to lite versions of other mobile apps, such as Facebook lite, TikTok lite, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While at it, turn on your device&#8217;s low data mode. With iOS devices, go to settings&gt;Wi-Fi, then tap the info button next to the connected Wi-Fi network. You will see the option to turn on the low data mode.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Android devices, go to your Wi-Fi networks, then click on the connected network. Next, tap on Advanced&gt;Network Usage or Metered Network and choose &#8220;Treat as metered&#8221; on the dropdown menu. This option should turn off all the background tasks that consume data.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"monitor-your-network\">Monitor Your Network<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Some routers feature built-in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Network_management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">network management<\/a> settings that indicate how much data each connected device uses. This data can help you pinpoint the culprit that draws most of your data. Different activities consume varying amounts of data, and this table highlights the average for some of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Activity<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Data Used Per Hour<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Required Speed<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Email<\/td><td>1MB<\/td><td>1Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Web browsing<\/td><td>20-25MB<\/td><td>3-5Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Social media browsing<\/td><td>160MB<\/td><td>3-5Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Video calls<\/td><td>200-280MB<\/td><td>3-5Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>HD quality streaming<\/td><td>3GB<\/td><td>5-10Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Online gaming<\/td><td>12-50MB<\/td><td>3-5Mbps<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>4K streaming<\/td><td>7GB<\/td><td>25Mbps<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you detect anything unusual, like 1GB usage after web browsing for an hour, there could be tabs with auto-playing ads or videos.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"look-for-offpeak-hours\">Look for Off-Peak Hours<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Some internet providers have off-peak hours where any data you use doesn&#8217;t count toward the set limit. Usually, these off-peak hours are in the middle of the night, but this data is free and unlimited. So you can schedule heavy downloads like games or movies to start at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"secure-your-wifi-network\">Secure Your Wi-Fi Network<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>This is a no-brainer. Your neighbors can connect and use your Wi-Fi network if secured poorly or if it does not have a password. Of course, the more devices you have accessing your router and using your internet package, the faster the data bundle will run out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7-4.jpg\" alt=\"How To Reduce Home Internet Data Usage: A person connecting a computer to a secure Wi-Fi network\" class=\"wp-image-2127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7-4.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7-4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/starlinkhow.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/7-4-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>A person connecting a computer to a secure Wi-Fi network<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"wrap-up\">Wrap Up<\/h2>\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, data consumption more or less defines your lifestyle, so reducing it requires a lot of discipline.
