What causes heavy usage?

• Streaming audio and video
Watching videos or listening to audio online can use up a lot of your monthly usage volume. Video requires much more data than audio, but some people listen to online radio stations all day long, and it can add up. Video hosting sites use multimedia heavily, which means they tend to use up a lot of your monthly volume.

• Large file downloads from file hosting sites
  
Files on file hosting sites vary in size; some can be as large as 100MB or more. Reducing downloads or only downloading compressed files can save your usage volume.

• File sharing
Peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing applications can also take up a great deal of your usage volume. This is not restricted to downloads but also files that you upload.

Jangan ingat korang boleh online 24 jam non stop ...dengar radio online non stop..semua tu diambil kira tau...

Jadi untuk mengurangkan $$$ nanti , ni tips yang diberikan oleh maxis ..

Tips to reduce usage?

• Disconnect from the Internet
This is the simplest and most effective way to save usage volume. If you are NOT using the Internet, just disconnect.

• Exit applications fully
  
Many applications, especially P2P applications, do not terminate when you click the Close button. Instead, they are actually running in the background. One way to determine whether they are still open is to check the system tray in the bottom right of your computer’s desktop (where the clock is) to see if the application icon is still there. To properly exit the application, you typically have to click the right mouse button on the icon in the tray and choose ‘Exit’.

• Compress large file
Emails with photos or other files attached are generally large in size. Before sending large email attachments, compress them to reduce their size. You can do this by checking if your operating system has file compression capability. If it doesn’t, obtain a file compression program like WinZip.

• Significant web surfing
While web surfing does not usually create excessive usage, frequent web surfing can cause a significant amount of usage volume to mount up. One way to reduce your usage volume is to increase the size of your web browser cache. This allows your computer to access files from your hard drive instead of the Internet and thusly reduces data downloading. The most important thing is to keep track of your usage so that you can use the data allocated wisely.
