What exactly is "light" web browsing?

This is what Verizon has to say for it's 250mb mobile broadband plan

Mobile Broadband Plan—250 MB Monthly Allowance
Best for heavy users that:

* Need a mobile connection 7-8 hours a month
* Send or receive email with small or no attachments
* Light Web Browsing
* Download or upload small files
* Download a song or two once in a while

So that doesn't really help. What WOULD help is .... how should I measure bandwidth per web page? Is bandwidth used basically just downloading the html file?


How large is a regular html file? Actually not "regular", instead think of "average".

oh wait i just found a cool program called Networx that measures your bandwidth usage. ....

Typically an HTML file is 30kb or something but most of your bandwidth will go to ads and pictures.

Get a tethering plan.


Oh and "light" basically means infrequent in this case.
