What kind of connections can be set as metered, in Windows 10? Sometimes, even wired (Ethernet) internet connections can be metered. Also, wireless network connections can be metered, especially public WiFi networks that enforce all kinds of limits, including a maximum data usage per day, week or month.
The same concept can be applied to other devices too, including tablets (with Windows, Android or iOS), hybrid devices and more. Most telecom providers offer monthly data plans of several gigabytes and, when you exceed the limit, they automatically charge you a tariff per megabyte. In the modern day, metered connections are mostly used when referring to smartphones and mobile devices that have a cellular connection from a telecom provider. Landline phones were the first that offered this. If you go over its allotted amount, you may get billed extra charges. A metered connection is a network connection that has a limited data usage per month or per day.
