Reducing bandwidth usage

I'm on a Verizon 5GB monthly plan, haven't gone over yet (in several years of fulltiming) but bumped right up against the limit a few times. I have a network usage utility installed but that only tells me how much my browser is using, not what individual sites are using.

It seems like my usage spikes frequently while I'm on Facebook even though I don't watch any videos there. After some research this morning, it seems like using touch.facebook.com may be a possible solution since that site is optimized for mobile phones.

So, before I get too deep into this, is anyone else using this site on a laptop or PC? Notice any difference in your bandwidth consumption?

    Sorry about the off topic folks, but that had to be said.
