As you probably know, after the arrival of 3G, then 4G, it is now 5G that is beginning to land on our territory. The more recent the evolutions of the internet, the more things you can accomplish using your nan. It's really practical! And for people who had the chance to test the first versions of the web, you had to switch off your landline phone to be able to use the internet and download an image in several minutes, and up to several tens of hours for a film... Now it's it only takes a few minutes for a 4K film for the lucky ones whose accommodation is equipped with fiber. This will also be the case for you with 5G, which will change everything. That said, our internet packages are not completely unlimited packages, and we are generally limited to 50, 100 or 200 GB per month for the most expensive packages. It is therefore essential, depending on your consumption, to manage it well so as not to end your months with an internet connection at the speed of a minitel.
This is precisely what we will show you today, we will learn how to choose a mobile data limit on your nan. To do this, first of all, we will quickly show you a little more in detail why it is essential to manage your internet package. Then, the different means of limit the consumption of your internet data on your nan.
Why set a mobile data limit on your phone?
We therefore start this guide by quickly explaining to you why it is beneficial to monitor the mobile data consumption of your nan. You probably don't know this in the event that you have only used very little internet mobile data so far or in the event that you have WiFi at home, however the majority of current 4G packages are limited in volume of files and the bandwidth (download speed) is particularly reduced once this amount is reached.
It's when you go away for the weekend or when the internet at home doesn't work and you use your phone as a mobile access point that you realize that the data goes quickly... Watch some video clips or getting lost on social networks are really greedy activities and your internet plan may not last long in the event that you plan to do this non-stop.
It is in these cases that it can be beneficial to use a data limit on your nan so as not to be surprised and end your month with an ultra slow connection, something to which we are no longer accustomed and that we generally live particularly badly because we are used to broadband. Loading an image can take a few tens of seconds, several minutes for a heavy web page, and you shouldn't even hope to be able to watch a video, even in poor quality...

How to choose a mobile data consumption alert threshold on a nan?
The first of the possibilities that we want to show you is simply a prevention technique, it will serve to alert you when you exceed a first level of internet data consumption, however, without blocking your package. A good solution to leave you a margin while being informed that you will have to start paying attention to keep the package for the rest of the month. Here's how to fix it:

How to set a file consumption blocking limit on a nan?
If you want to be more radical and you want, after setting a warning, to find a way to completely block your data consumption so as not to use everything, for example, by having started downloading a non-essential update, the best solution will be to determine a blocking limit for your internet package. So there is no risk of consuming everything without realizing it. We recommend that you set this limit at 80 or even 90% of your package to make sure you keep enough for essential things:
- Go to the "Connections" menu of your nan, you will find it in the settings of the latter
- In the "Use of mobile data" tab, you can access the settings by clicking on the small cogwheel at the top right of your screen
