Internet Provider Data Drain

You can and should setup your Windows 10 computers not to update when they are on a “metered connection”. It is easy to do. A simple internet search will give you all the details you need to set this up in a few minutes. It is one redeeming feature that Microsoft included in this bane to computer OS’s.

I have my computer set to metered connection and I also downloaded a program called Microsoft Mini Tool. It will check for updates and allows me to pick and choose the updates I want and ignore others. Which Windows 10 will not let you do, it downloads all of them, whether you want them to or not.

Cell phones doing backups?

I’m not sure, but my wife may have wifi calling enabled.

Generally it would work out fine as our DSL lines are only throttled by the instantaneous data rate limit.

It would save on the (low) 3rd party cell phone account monthly data limit, so I may have had her turn it on, if available.

Yes, we have fixed that. Thank you Mr. Toad.

I will check it Mr. Smith. Thank you
