FAQ
1. How can I reduce time?
Disconnect from the Internet, when you are not browsing, or sending &
receiving email
Most modern web browsers allow you to save & read documents offline
Email programs allow you to read & draft replies offline
Most operating systems, such as Windows allow you to specify an idle
disconnection time
eg: 900 seconds (15 min).

be bandwidth intensive
