Something Sucked My Metered WIFI Dry

in #esteem5 years ago

I have a metered WIFI plan here in Kuala Lumpur Malaysia. I had 17 gigs left a couple of days ago and I have only 4 today. I was expecting to see about 10. I have not done anything differently, so I am not sure why this happened.

I get 55 gigs a month which will renew in a week, so I will be in and out of the internet and severely restricted until Friday night.

If I had money, I can buy more time as an add in. But I have no money and so will not be taking that step.

I already turn my wifi on and off many times a day. This is what I will do in hopes of lasting until Friday at midnight:

  • Create post text while offline.

  • Find and sort photos for posts while offline.

  • Go online and use busy to upload photos.

  • Copy those to esteem while still online.

  • Go offline and write text in esteem which works offline for text.

  • Go online, get the post out of esteem and post it on the correct dApp.

  • Figure out what to post next for my three blogs.

  • Open bounty posts which can be typed in offline.

  • Check steemreply to see what replies and mentions I have.

  • Open discord once a day and shut it down after checking.

  • Open canva and make any poster I need.

Repeat, repeat, repeat...

This is what I will not do:

  • Find posts to curate for my many programs I do that for.
  • Anything to do with my wallets until Tuesday. Then I will claim rewards and see where I am at.
  • Check for posts I want to read and comment on. STEEM news blackout!
  • Freewrite encouraging on Monday may not happen. If there are only a few people freewriting like the last couple of weeks, I will do it.

Four gigs is a lot. Feel the abundance and go forth.

I took the photo of the running man in the Don Mueang International Airport in Bangkok. Follow him if you need to run. The flowers were in a bucket at the Farmer’s Market in Coronado California. Both were taken with my Canon ELPH160 point and shoot camera.

Do you use Brave browsers on your phone?

I do not use a phone at all, @smallearth. But I have brave on my laptop with media turned off.

I can feel your pain. I totally understand how you feel when you expect to have certain amount of GB left but it fell short. I have for a long while now been making my posts offline. The rate at which data works here in Nigeria is a total rip off. The WiFi I got is too expensive to maintain too. I come online only when I have to. It would have been bearable if the price of steem shoots up.

Everything will be fine. Just find a way around it, for now.

TY @olawalium - I'll make it :)

Sure, you will. I like that energy.

Sounds like you need to change the WiFi password!

I will! Thank you for that advice, @cmplxty :)
