The more pics, video (or animation) or sound, the more it uses and the slower the page will load. You can go to tools advanced and stop it from loading musicc or video. I recommend keeping basic pics for a while because they may be useful and thir overhead is low compared to the other two

More pictures, graphics, animations, fash clips and .. are on a website, more bites/kilobytes will be sent and recieved.
Open some different websites ( very simple ones, abit heaver one and a very animated one ) and then do the following to see how many kilobytes were sent and recieved after opening each of them.
If you are connected via a network connection, ie Ethernet or Wireless Network, simply open up the network connection window, by right clicking and selecting status. Look at the packet (received and sent) # and write them down. Then, load your site. Watch the numbers, and write down how much they went up, respectivley. Then do some math. A packet is 64 bytes, and there are 1024 bytes in a kilobyte.
so if you reccived 32 packets, then the website was 2 kilobytes.
This works for windows xp. Not sure about other os's.
You can also use this for dial-up if it is an "always on" connection.

Alternatively, you could always find a different dial-up provider. Most of the common ones now-a-days allow unlimited bandwith and surfing. In other words, unlimited internet surfing at a fixed fee. Then again, it depends on your location.

Use Firefox with Adblock Plus and Noscript, they will prevent advertisements, pop-ups and many other unnecessary page elements from being loaded at all to save you bandwidth costs.

The best option is to avoid flash based sites or sites that have videos. They're bandwidth hog.

Multimedia, games, art based based website consume more of your data units... if you can get past em you can cut down your cost.
