Maybe add the option to the “Tools and Tweaks, “Registry Tweaks” section. I’m not sure how many would need this though. Is a metered connection common these days? I’m just asking. I’ve never run into anyone with a metered connection.

I think this may be a good idea.

Bill, nice thought, the Registry tweaks is a great place for this. People use metered connections often these days, when they travel, and connect their PCs to the internet by using their phones as access point. They rarely use metered connections through Ethernet, though. I guess that is why Windows does not have the option.
One thing we humans have in common is that we are all different. So, if you think you're weird because you're different from everyone else, then we are all weird.

This makes perfect sense now that you say that. When I was erecting steel I used my cell phone all the time for an internet connection. It was often faster than the wireless at the hotels we stayed at and although I’ve always paid for unlimited data, I know many who don’t. It just cost too much. I should review my cellular plan. I wonder how much I actually use these days.
