Re: High utilization rate

It was misrepresented totally.

I use a Firefox type web browser (WaterFox), and use

Flashblock

Adblock Plus

Download YouTube Videos as MP4

»addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/

and, I use 360p mode when viewing Youtube...right click on star icon, lower right....or use non HD when viewing Vemo vids.

I do watch quite a few vids each month, but, if they require more than 7 minutes to watch, I generally pass on them, unless I download them after midnight.

Most all watched, were downloaded first via Download YouTube Videos as MP4...if it shows a large file size, say more than 10 Mbyte, when you click to save it, I may or may not download it, unless after midnight.

If one points-n-shoot, without these measures, one will burn up their bucket-usage allotment.

Those are good pointers. Wish the Wild Blue chick had known that kind of stuff in the beginning. Would have saved me much aggravation and frustration. The people who sold us on it promised we could easily watch videos and be within the limits. That seems to be a gross exaggeration since I am signing off every time I step away and its still well beyond their projected amounts.
I appreciate it immensely that you have directed me on how to at least improve my results until I can get a real internet access system.
