In the same way that Orange, some telecommunications companies face difficulties in keeping the Internet full and avoiding network coverage, similarly Telefónica has joined and called for proper use of our means.
Companies are working to keep up with the growing demand, however it is important for consumers and users to act responsibly donating our sand grains, and among all those who work responsibly.
That is why today we bring you a series of tips and recommendations to help break down the network and spend less, and thus be able to enjoy the Internet without problems.
How to use very little data in our daily use of the Internet and use the network efficiently
With these tips and recommendations we will be able to continue to enjoy our Internet in a natural way, and will mean only a few basic changes to our settings and drive our limited use so as not to satisfy the network at key moments.
Activate Reduced Data Mode
IOS 13 features a low data usage mode that will reduce our network usage on devices such as the iPhone or iPad. To use it, you must follow these steps:
-
1st: Open "Settings".
-
2nd: Come in Mobile data.
-
Third: Press "Options".
-
4th: Slide the slider button for the last option on the display "Reduced data mode".
This mode is active data usage from our device in the background will decrease. Photos will stop uploading to iCloud by default, previews and auto downloads will be disabled and when we use streaming services the data transfer will conform to the highest level of network performance. FaceTime calls will also be affected and will decrease in quality while this mode is active.
We can disable this mode at any time by returning to this same menu in "Settings" and re-enter the button to use the network normally.

Don't make unnecessary and too heavy downloads
Something very simple and obvious. This is not the best time to download the biggest files on the network, because this kind of action loads the infrastructure. If you do not have an alternative, try to do it during low traffic, such as at night, because the network is not too busy.
Don't upload too big files either
Exactly like the previous point. In the same way that the download completes the network, so the file loads. Do it at night if and when necessary, leave it later.
Press your communication tools
Avoid the use of multimedia messages and use tools such as Microsoft Teams to communicate at work. This allows the network not to store heavy messages and operate in a very old fashioned way, at the same time in addition. it enables interaction and communication.
Heavy tasks work best with hours with minimal network traffic
As we mentioned earlier, tasks that use more volume of data and network usage will be better if we leave it at night, because traffic volume decreases compared to day. Feature videos on YouTube, play online games, stream broadcast, etc. These functions will be recommended to perform if the network traffic is not very full
Fortunately Spain has been provided with a fiber network that gives it the first place in infrastructure at the European level and third in the world therefore, apart from this increase in traffic, the network must support its use. However, as they say, prevention is better than cure and since coronavirus enables us to demonstrate the unity and commitment of each of us as users, it is important to successfully get out of this situation. Do you have any idea how to use the network in a logical way? Don't hesitate to share it with us in the comments section!
