How to enable / disable metered connection on 11 PCs

When starting the Windows 8 operating system, Microsoft created a feature called Metered Connection, which actually prevents your data plan from having unnecessary online activity. This connection, measured when turned on, makes sure that the data plan you got from the cell company is not exceeded and gives you a notice when you don’t have such an important update. If the metered connection is turned off and your data packet ends before the end of the month, your broadband connection speed will drop and you will not have a stable connection. So in this article we will guide you on how to enable or disable metered connections for known networks on your system.
