Hello all, I'm new here and hope you can help with this one:
I recently upgraded my PC - I had to pay a bit more than for the download to get the disc because my internet is via 3 using the portable broadband (mi-fi). I get 15 Gb per month and if I go over that it gets v. expensive.
In the past 15 Gb has been fine - I use the net a lot, but just general surfing and as long as I stay away from iPlayer and youtube! its fine. However, I think Windows 8 may be a problem unless I change some settings. Do the live tiles (weather, store etc.) constantly work with the interent sort of in the background, could this be eating up my data? I have been getting through this month's Gigabytes at quite a pace and I'm not sure why.
Nic
P.S. Is there an app that can monitor my data usage yet for Win 8?
