I will spend a lot of time in Africa in the next 2 years, and in order to get Internet access there I plan to sign up for satellite Internet access through BGAN / Inmarsat. They charge per megabyte of traffic, and the prices are steep -- around $6 per megabyte. What can I do on my side to minimize the traffic to save on the cost? For example, how do I specify to load Internet pages in text mode only and skip the graphics? Any other suggestions on traffic minimization will be very appreciated! I intend to use Internet for browsing around and reading news, doing research, trading stocks, getting my email, etc.
Thank you very much!
