Data Usage & eero Plus (Ad Block)

I'm in a rural area and required to use a Verizon LTE Router for Internet, with a 15 Gb monthly allotment.

Wondering if Ad Block on eero Plus would result in appreciable reduced data usage.

Any help appreciated

    You could try it for a month, but I doubt it would make much of a difference. Software updates and any streaming are what's most likely to eat up your bandwidth.

    This article suggested there may be a benefit:

    "A Canadian university study has found that using the Adblock Plus browser extension can save between 25 and 40 percent network bandwidth if deployed across an internal enterprise network."

      drrjv I'm skeptical of how well those results would translate into a home environment as opposed to a 100 computer test group like they did in the study. But like I said, it can't hurt to spend $10 for one month to try it out and see if it makes a noticeable difference.
