    How much usage is burned per hour of typical internet browsing, assuming I'm not watching live video feeds or movies? I'm considering eliminating my monthly internet service and using either my T mobile 4G hotspot, which costs $35 for 60 days and includes, I believe 3.5GB.

    I also have a Virgin blackberry phone which has wi fi capability, and I don't use but about 500 minutes per month anymore, so I was thinking I could also eliminate my monthly $59 cell phone bill by using the wi fi hotspot. There is no one at home when I travel, so I wouldn't be depriving anybody of internet usage if I take the hotspot with me. I found another service which charges a flat $4.99 per month plus 3.9 cents per megabyte used, but it's a 3g device and it uses Sprint's network, which is not as widely available as T Mobile from my experience..  Help!

    Things You'll Need
    Computer
    Internet logs
    Monitoring software


    Instructions
    1
    Log on to your computer and right click on the "My Computer" icon. Choose "Explore" from the menu to open Windows Explorer. Once Windows Explorer is open, you can find the logs and Internet files that will tell you where your workers, your children or your spouse have been on the web.


    2
    Click the plus sign next to "My Computer," then click the plus sign next to the "C" drive. Navigate to the "Documents and Settings" folder and look for the name of the user you want to track. The "Documents and Settings" folder creates a sub-folder for each user who logs on to the computer, and the information regarding that user is stored under this sub-folder.


    3
    Navigate to the "Local Settings" folder under the user you want to track. If this folder is not visible, click on the "Tools" menu, choose "Folder Options," click the "View" tab and select the "View hidden files and folders" option. Once the "Local Settings" folder is open, look for the sub-folder named "Temporary Internet Files." This is the folder where the Internet browsing history is retained. Look through the entries in this folder for any inappropriate sites.


    4
    Consider using a third-party monitoring program if you suspect a problem with a particular user's computer usage. There are a number of monitoring programs that can be used to send screen shots from a user's computer to the email address you specify. There also are programs that will record each keystroke the user makes and send that information to you at specific intervals.
