I am trying to picture the computer setup we are going to have someday in our RV. Personally, I think a satellite connection would make the most sense, but from what I've read, it will probably be easier to set up an access point off of a cell phone. Either way, we need to limit the amount of data we send across the internet connection. What bothers me is that I feel like my computer sends and receives a lot of data behind my back. Microsoft updates software, Facebook streams little videos, websites are always displaying ads that turn out to be videos or sound. And I'm sure there are other things being sent off behind my back! I find this very frustrating, because I'm a computer programmer and I'm supposed to understand this stuff! Is there any way to get control over our data usage?
