How to reduce internet consumption..recently we faced campaigns in Egypt about unlimited internet in Egypt, and demands to reduce the price of packages or increase their current capacity, and this was not random..but because everyone in Egypt faces the problem of rapid internet consumption, and it often ends before two weeks have passed Even on recharging the package, but.. I don’t think we have to wait for those demands to occur, and what you really have to do is to reduce the consumption of the Internet, so that you can continue the Internet package until the end of the month.

Steps to reduce internet consumption

To reduce the consumption of the Internet, there are many steps, tricks and security measures that enable you to reduce your Internet consumption, and then I will provide you with everything you need to know step by step..

reduce internet speed

It is worth noting that the first factor in consuming the Internet quickly is the high speed of the Internet! The higher the Internet speed, the higher the data consumption, and thus the higher the Internet consumption, which causes its end as soon as possible. What you have to do is reduce the speed of the Internet, and that is with the following steps – those steps from the we-ZTE H168N – VDSL router -:

• Go to the Internet settings page 192.168.1.1, and log in with the name admin and your password

• Log in to the local internet section

• Then login to WLAN

• Then choose WLAN Global configuration

• When setting the mode, you bring up this list of options and choose the following, and the next option is the lowest Internet speed, which is approximately 5 megabytes.

• And if it is too slow, choose the second option, which is the second lowest speed, which is equivalent to about 16 MB.. In all cases, you will press apply as a command to control the speed in this way.. and to know that the speed increases gradually from top to bottom, and gradually decreases from bottom to higher

In addition to the above, your good security of your WI FI from hacking is one of the most important ways to preserve consumption, so for security options, set the type of protection as follows, from the same page through which you set the previous settings, but drop the WLAN SSID Configuration options :

As for your password, it should contain unfamiliar symbols, numbers, letters (capital and lowercase letters), this is better for you so that you will not be hacked, and in general, do not give your password to those you do not trust that they will keep it between you and them, Here are some additional simple tips:

• Do not open the network on children’s phones Unless you monitor them and limit their consumption
  • Children are the unknown soldiers in rising consumption within days; Because of the endless videos they watch, and the games they download.
• Limit the number of users or connected to your network Through the following option, and then the chance of hacking you will decrease, given that the number of callers is limited to the number of people in the house and most of the time they are all connected to the network, then no one will be able to connect to the network unless one of the callers is already disconnected:

• Hide your network, which eliminates the possibility of penetration as much as possible, through the following option by pressing ON:

Modify the settings of consumer applications to limit the use of data through them

Applications such as Facebook and youtube, consume a lot of Internet capacity because of their large percentage of exposure to play videos for Facebook, and certainly on YouTube, which takes up a large percentage of consumption, so what applications do we need to adjust their settings according to the plan to reduce Internet consumption?

• Youtube:

You may not notice it, but YouTube plays the videos automatically without you even playing them, and that definitely consumes the package, so..Go to the settings:

• • Click on Data provision:

• • Then make the following settings:
  • Either you choose the data saving mode and activate it..and automatically do all the settings to reduce consumption

• • Or you can manually choose the options you want to activate separately

• • Click on Preferred video quality settings:

• • Then make the following settings as you see them in front of you:

• • Click on Autoplay:

• • Then do the following setting to disable autoplay for videos:

• Facebook:

We know that Facebook plays videos automatically and in high quality, and in addition to videos, Facebook is a multitasking application, all of which consume the Internet badly! Facebook is known for this defect, and to reduce its consumption, we do the following.. Go to the settings:

• • Then choose to use cellular data

Then make the settings as you see in the following image:

• Whatsapp:

WhatsApp also causes this problem, especially if you are a member of many groups or you are a business owner and receive a lot of photos and videos, due to the automatic upload of media (photos, videos and audios), which you can cancel with the following steps:

• • Go to settings:

• • Then go to storage and data

• • Then prepare the following three options separately

• • Mobile data usage:

• • While connected to WI FI

• • And while roaming, just like them.. As for the image quality option

• • And prepare it as follows:

• Telegram:

Telegram may be the most application that consumes the Internet, and that only.. If you watch series and movies through it, just click on a video – even if you do not intend to complete it – Telegram will automatically download it to your phone, which may consume a lot and a lot of data and Internet capacity, and to cancel So follow these steps:

• • Go to the settings page:

• • Then choose data and storage:

• • And then you will find these three options

• • On my own..set it as follows.. When using cellular data, slide the arrow above towards the word “low”, and I leave the option for images only as you will see, I leave the option for the application to download them automatically, unlike videos and files that are not allowed to Loaded automatically

• • When turning on the WI FI

• • What applies to them applies to the When roaming option…and when you are done with these settings, scroll down on the data and storage page and adjust the settings as follows:

• Google play:

Google Play often updates automatically, which you don’t like for all apps, and we all have these preferences, so..to avoid automatic updating even when you’re using data, which certainly can’t support apps updating, as soon as your internet package ends on your line at that time, follow these steps:

• • Open Settings:

• • Then the Network Preferred Settings option:

• • When you click on it, these three settings will appear.

• • Set up each of them as follows.. Preferred settings for downloading applications This option is general for downloading applications and has nothing to do with automatic update, but to ensure that when downloading or updating it consumes the Internet from wi-fi and not cellular data

• • Automatic update of applications:

• • Play videos automatically

Overall..Let me advise you to use the lite versions of the applications, they consume less data and less Internet, and even be a good solution to solve the problem of full space, the basic applications are always larger in size and reach twice their size with the accumulation of data inside them, for example, there is Facebook lite, Instagram lite Messenger lite..and there is no lite version of Telegram, WhatsApp or YouTube, so what you can do about these applications is no more or less than what I told you earlier, unless you intend to quit social media altogether, delete all these applications and do not worry about anything, my friend.
