First, let me explain to you the concept of metered connection. There are many service providers who provide internet connection to the required users. These providers offer such a tariff in which they charge the customers by the amount of data used (the usage of data is the amount of data send and received by your system) mean they grant metered connection. The providers give you a certain data limit and if you cross the data limit then you have to pay extra charges for the extra usage. In some cases, they might not charge extra after you exceed the data limit but they will certainly slow down the internet speed until you reach the month end.
