Internet traffic control app tip.

25MB isn't a lot. 3G is also a rip off.

Best thing yo can do is to disable images in your browser, that is what eats away at your bandwidth.

 

I think the first application with which you should start managing traffic is LittleSnitch

It's more involved in protecting your privacy online by notifying you when a launched application wants to access the internet, and gives you the option to block or allow. Download a trial and give it a shot - it'll help you shape which applications are heading out to the web. It also has its own sweet network monitor included.

Download and install Firefox as well. Install AdBlock Plus and block all the media-rich ads that show up on the websites you visit. Not only does this create a more elegant surfing environment for you, but it also saves bandwidth!

Also, disable OS X's automatic software updates

Avoid any media-heavy websites with streaming video, flash video, high resolution images, etc.

If you still go way over your bandwidth, you may consider:

• Upgrading your plan if it's affordable
• Using the connection for email on-the-go only
• Looking for a different mobile internet service provider in your area

Good luck!
