    Metered Connection


    A while back I was having troubles downloading all the Windows 10 updates. Call tech support and bottom line they set my computer to a metered connection. That solved my problems. It worked.

    Me internet provider only supplies me with 10 mbps of download speed.

    Yesterday I turned off my metered connection and my 10 mbps went to all most zero. When I turned my metered connection back on everything went back to normal.

    My computer worked fine without the metered connection being turned on when new.

    Can't figure out why the metered connection being turned on or off effects my speed now.

    :)

  2. OneDrive - Metered Connection

    Hi Sayyid,

    Since you're using a SIM to be able to use the internet, Windows 10 automatically set your connection as metered if your Internet service provider limits the data you can use.

    You can turn the Set as metered connection option to OFF by following these steps:

    • Click the Internet access icon from the Taskbar.
    • Click the network where you are connected, then click Properties.
    • Locate and toggle the Set as metered connection to OFF.

    Let us know if the message still appears after following the above mentioned steps.

    Regards.

    Setting a metered connection for Ethernet?


    Please permit me to respectfully disagree, battlezone. Not only is it possible to do this, TenForums offers a tutorial that explains exactly how, step-by-step: Set Ethernet Connection as Metered or Unmetered in Windows 10. Do please check it out, won't you?
    Thanks,
