My opinion / experience

Yes, I will like to start this tutorial with my opinion that also double as my experience as an online business person. When I started using a personal data connection (after shifting from using the cybercafé) many years ago, I discovered that when I use my MTN 3GB bundle (then I was only able to afford 2500 naira night bundle and a Pentium 3 IBM laptop) it last throughout the 30days with large data to spare. Later, I switched to Pentium M IBM still using the night plan mixed with occasional MTN 1000 to 1300 naira data plan that offers 260 to 375 MB plan.

While on the data plan, I was able to use my night plan data for a whole month; and the 1000 to 1300 plan for complete 2 weeks browsing mostly throughout the day. This was the case until I changed to HP Dual Core. The story changed drastically, I started using 3 GB data for les than 2 weeks, and the 260 and 375 MB for less than 3 days, what happened?

My observation

I did a little test, got a Pentium 3 laptop and discovered that the data still last longer. So, I concluded that the higher the speed of a PC, the higher the Data that will be consumed during internet browsing.

My solution

I decided to get a Pentium 4 laptop for my business and retained higher grade PC for presentation purpose only. Why do you think I did that? If you work online, the amount of data you use will affect your bottom-line and success rate. Therefore, to ensure I don’t spend more than necessary, I use Pentium 4 laptop for strictly business. This way, I keep down my data expenditure while I increase my bottom-line. You can do the same too. However, if this isn’t a good idea for you, try this second option to get your data bundle last longer.

Other solution that will keep down data consumption on your PC

  1. Go to task bar and right click on it.
  2. Click on service
  3. Locate BIS (background intelligence service)
  4. Click stop
  5. Exit

Following this step will reduce your PC/Laptop data consumption and make your data plan last longer. Note that this step must be repeated each time you wish to use your laptop or pc for internet surfing
