Are You Maximizing Your Savings with Herotel Fibre?

With uncapped home fibre from Herotel, you have the power to revolutionise how you use the internet—right from the comfort of your home. But are you taking full advantage of it? If not, you could be missing out on significant savings and wasting expensive mobile data. Here’s how to make every megabyte and penny count:

1. Always Stay Connected to Your Wi-Fi
It might sound obvious, but the easiest way to save on mobile data is to ensure all your internet devices—phones, laptops, smart TVs, and tablets—are connected to your Wi-Fi signal. Switch off mobile data on your devices when you’re at home to avoid accidental data usage. This simple habit can save you a lot of money!

2. Download, Don’t Stream on the Go
Did you know that many video and music streaming services like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube allow you to download your favourite content? Take advantage of your fibre’s unlimited data to download films, series, songs, and podcasts at home. Then, enjoy them on-the-go without eating into your mobile data allowance.

3. Make Voice and Video Calls Over Wi-Fi
Why spend money on mobile voice minutes when you can make high-quality calls using data? Apps like WhatsApp, WeChat, Teams, and Google Meet let you make voice and video calls via Wi-Fi. When you’re at home, use these apps for all your calls—better yet, turn them into video calls for a richer experience without additional cost.

4. Disable Background App Refresh
Background app refresh is a sneaky culprit for draining mobile data. Apps often run in the background, downloading updates and syncing information even when you’re not using them. Disable this feature on your mobile devices and save those updates for when you’re connected to your home fibre. You’ll be amazed at how much data you can save!

5. Set Up Automatic Backups Over Wi-Fi
Backing up your photos, videos, and other important data is essential, but it can be a massive drain on mobile data if done on the go. Ensure that your devices are set to perform automatic backups only when connected to Wi-Fi. This way, your data is protected without consuming mobile data.

6. Monitor Your Data Usage
Most smartphones and devices allow you to monitor your data usage in the settings menu. Regularly check this to ensure your mobile data isn’t being used unnecessarily when you’re at home. If you see apps consuming data in the background, adjust their settings to only use Wi-Fi.

By following these six simple tips, you can make the most of your Herotel fibre and ensure you’re not wasting a penny on unnecessary mobile data. Smart usage equals smart savings—keep your data and money where they belong: with you!
