If you’re one of those poor internet users who have to pay by the Megabyte, or have a capped allowance then techbuzz have 5 good tips (and 1 silly tip) for reducing your bandwidth usage, so that you can surf more.  I’ve never come across these applications before, because I have an unlimited pipe which in some months downloads obscene amounts of data.

techbuzz’s five tips are:

  • Onspeed: Download this application to compress text and images before downloading.
  • FlashBlock Extension: Great firefox extension that will block these bandwidth heavy (and usually annoying) ads
  • Use a email client rather than a webmail client as these can use up a lot of bandwidth

What was the silly tip, I hear you ask?  Switch to an unlimited plan
