You should consider yourself lucky if you live
in the Developed countries, because you get to
enjoy the internet speed of 8Mbps or 2Mbps at
least. But there are still few parts of the world
there the internet 256kbps is called a
broadband connection. But for any reason you
still use a low speed internet connection, this
post might help you if you want to browse
internet on your PC by consuming less
bandwidth.
Google Reader
Google reader is a feed reader from Google
which grabs the content from blogs you
subscribe to, at one place so that you can read
your favorite blogs at one place without
actually downloading extra files of the blog
theme. And the best part is, it works on
extremely slow connection and consumes
super less data.
Use Opera Browser
Opera is just like any other browser but it has
got a great feature which is perfect when you
are on a slow internet connection and care to
save bandwidth. The feature is calledOpera
turbo, when it is turned on, the websites you
browse is downloaded at the servers of Opera
first and the data is compressed there before
it loads on your browser which makes it easy
to load the pages and consumes less data.
There is another option to turn the images off.
Use Mobile Version of Websites
If sites like Facebook take a lot of time to
load, you can even try m.facebook.com
ortouch.facebook.com. You will not be able to
use all the features but it?s worth using when
the main website fails to load use to less
speed of internet.
Stop Automatic Updates of Windows and Other
programs
There are planets of things that run in the
background and try to connect with the
internet whenever the connection is available.
Turn off the automatic updates of your
windows and use a firewall to block all other
programs from connecting to the internet if
they are not much important.
