So, our package is 40gb a month and we are already up to 55+ gb and it's only the 8th of January!
We (wife and I) arent using more than normal, I know for a fact, yes she now has her ipad but uses it instead of her wifi kobo and her netbook and doesn't do anything different on it.
In fact, therein (conversely) is, I suspect, the problem because for Christmas my 13 year old son now has the kobo and the 15 year old daughter has the old laptop!
I'm sure that this will be the reason especially as Charlies continually being told NOT to go on effing you tube or play minecraft or whatever its called.
So, Im wondering if anyone has some suggestions on what I can do to limit their usage?
I've already changed the wifi network password and my initial plan is simply to change this daily and not let them have it unless their work etcs done each day, then as soon as I've decided they've had enough simply change it again.
However, Im wondering if there's some sort of software that would make life a little easier on this, I've looked at something called k9 web protection but you need to install it on each machine, I'm looking for something I can install on the mac to manage it all globally if that makes sense?
So any thoughts welcome before I tear my hair out!
