So in our household, we have a limit of 200GB for the internet. The problem is, we either get to that or go over that each month, and when we do so the speed goes from 50mbps to around 56k which is horrible. Especially when everything I at UNI is online and so I cant have a slow internet connection.
Anyhow, there is only one user in the household that uses it to excess, and we know it is as I can track it using the network monitor built-in. Anyhow I can manage it with every other computer in the house, to which is windows and the laptop in question is a mac.
Now my question is, how can I limit the amount of download is used on the mac. I can limit the bandwidth with some simple terminal firewall commands, but cannot for the life of me figure out how to limit how much is downloaded.
In other words, I wish to either slow down the internet extremely after lets say 2GB has been downloaded, or just disable it overall.
What we currently do is check how much is used with the ISP's website and disable the MAC adress of the macbook using the advanced configuration in the router. But that can get annoying.
Anyone know of a way around it?
