Stolen time from my 5 GB

here we go again. Straight talk won't help me and the computer has lost 20 percent of my monthly time in one day so far. Is there a fix out there or do I just need to get a new company?

I don't know how these work, Tammy. I'm of no help.

I'll be off line shortly because of this problem. Since acer installs all updates I have no access to the solution that I know of. I'd like to shoot someone but what can you do?

I might have run into the answer. It was in a good chrome forum. It is in the advanced settings something called predict network actions. Mine has two predict actions so I turned them both off. We will see if it improves the situation. Cross your fingers for me.

well I turned off all of my privacy settings. That's known as me getting aggravated. I'm 4 days over on usage so far. I doubt I'll be able to make it back which is sad. I may look into a dsl provider instead of straight talk. This constantly having to watch the meter run is like clock watching and I don't like it.

tammy, my dsl is unlimited, and is only $30/mo. i know that seems like a lot, but all things considered... it is because it is bundled with my house phone. and i get excellent service. they even gave me the wireless router.

we have something like that here. I'm just about ready to check it out. I don't like the provider though. I used to have them for telephone and they were nasty. I was glad to change.

Did turning those things off help?

I believe so. I also found a place to turn the pop ups off on sparkpeople.
