Mobile Internet is fast and powerful todays, but it’s important to understand how it works so you don’t think your bundle is disappearing “for no reason”. Here are some essential facts about data consumption.

• Tips for optimizing streaming consumption

Do you stream movies and videos? What you need to know:

• Netflix in HD (720p) → 1 GB/hour
• Netflix in Full HD (1080p) → 3 GB/hour
• Netflix in 4K Ultra HD → 7 GB/hour
• YouTube in 480p → 300 MB/hour

If you want to watch movies, videos and play games online, think about:

• Lower video quality (480p instead of 1080p).
• Download your videos over Wi-Fi and watch them later.
• Use streaming packages like Giga Surf (*157*5# / *123*3*2# then 5) or special streaming packages at *157*3*6# / *123*3*2# then 3 then 6.

The higher the resolution of a video, the more data it consumes. Downloading a 4K movie takes up to 10 GB! If you want to save your connection, avoid downloading HD videos.

Tips :

• Prefer light formats (480p or 720p).
• Download using Wi-Fi, not mobile data.

Do you remember your old Choronko phones?

Back then, 100 MB was enough for several days, because they surfed in 2G. Today, new phones consume more data because they surf in 4G, so they load pages and videos faster; they have HD and Full HD screens, so they display in high resolution; applications have evolved further and there are more data hungry.

To better manage your consumption on your smartphone, you must:

• Activate data saving in the settings. This mode blocks excessive data use by background applications.
• Adjust the quality of YouTube and Netflix videos.
• Disable automatic app updating on 4G/5G. go to Google Play Store → Settings → Automatic update and choose “Wi-Fi only”.

Every time you look at a WhatsApp or Facebook status, your phone automatically downloads a video in the background, and videos on TikTok, Facebook and Instagram consume a huge amount of mega.

Many people believe that their Internet bundle “disappears” without explanation. This may be due to connection sharing. Connection sharing turns your smartphone into a WIFI point to which other equipment can connect.

To avoid or limit this situation:

• Disable connection sharing.
• Set an effective password on your Wi-Fi hotspot and change it from time to time.
• Check the connection sharing settings to see which devices are connected to your phone.

For the best experience, choose the bundle that best suits your needs:

• Giga Surf bundle (*157*5# or *123*3*2# then 5) → Ideal for streaming and large downloads.
• Wanda Net bundle (*123*10# or *157*0#) → Perfect for staying connected at a low price. Ideal for social media.
• Classic internet bundle (*157# or *123*3*2#) → For balanced consumption. But with its streaming bundle (*157*3*6# / *123*3*2# then 3 then 6) it’s just as recommended for streaming, important downloads and video games.
