To help you gauge the amount of data usage on networks, Windows 8 includes a new data
usage tracking and metering feature. This is especially useful when using mobile broadband
networks, as your service likely has a limit to the amount of data you can use before you’re
charged overage fees or the speed is throttled, or maybe you’re even on a pay-as-you-go
plan that charges per usage. By default, Windows 8 tracks the amount of data you transfer
over Wi-Fi and mobile broadband networks. The running total (in MBs or GBs) and the time
or day since it’s been tracked is displayed when you click (or tap) on a network name from
the new network list, as shown in the figure below:You can also set particular networks as a metered connection, which will then disable
Windows Update from downloading updates (except for critical security patches) and
possibly disable or reduce data usage from other Microsoft and non-Microsoft applications
as well.
