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.

Love to play with Windows 11 and 10. Suggestion - Going for Registry change or system files edit then remember to take a backup or create a restore point before Starting.
