How to select a data plan for the Internet

Connecting for the first time the Internet, you do not hurry to start signing the contract for a data plan. Try to define at first accurately for yourself that it is necessary for you from the Internet what any given plan of rates depends on.

1. For a start clear for yourself by what purposes you are guided, connecting the Internet. For example, if you wish to connect the Internet to use mail, "Schoolmates" and periodically to watch articles in a narrow set of the websites – you treat the Beginning user type. If the Internet for you – as means of entertainment by means of which you download movies and you watch news, you resemble the Ordinary User type more. If in daily activity you need downloading of a large number of photo audio-video files and also participation in online games, you get under a type "The active user" rather.

2. As soon as you define the purposes of connection of the Internet, estimate what information volume you will consume every month. For this purpose use the following approximate calculations: one text page of the book or the paper occupies 10 KB, the photo from the mobile phone – 150 KB, the photo professional – to 10 MB, one song – on average 5 MB, one video – up to 1.4 GB. Respectively, if you treat "Beginning user", traffic approximately in 2 GB is necessary for you if you are "An ordinary user" - 4-5 GB. If you "The active user", your traffic varies within 10-20 GB and more.

3. The important factor influencing the choice of an Internet rate is time of day. If you are going to check only few times in day mail or to read articles on the websites, select a data plan with pomegabaytny payment. If you want to use the Internet constantly, connect a rate round-the-clock.

4. Having decided on traffic and time of day, it is possible to contact the specialist of provider of the Internet and to sign the contract on connection. Only you monitor within a month the used information volume and in case of insufficient traffic change the data plan.
