Switching Internet Service Providers
FRITZ! – 4 FRITZ!web 25
The settings for the inactivity timeout can be defined for all
configured Internet connections, or special settings can be
configured for individual Internet connections.
If your Internet Service Provider charges a fee for each call,
then you should be careful not to set the timer delay for the
automatic idle timeout too low.
Switching Internet Service Providers
FRITZ!web allows you to define connections to any number of
Internet Service Providers. This means you can always select
the provider with the cheapest rates, or resort to a second pro-
vider when your regular provider’s access network is overload-
ed.
To switch to a different provider, just select the provider from
the context menu. The connection to the Internet is then set
up through the new Internet Service Provider.
Switch Automatically to the Most Economical
Internet Service Provider
To save connection charges, you can create a schedule for In-
ternet connections. In the schedule you specify which Internet
Service Provider should be used for each time of day and day
of the week. In this way you can always take advantage of the
best online rates automatically.
Setting Warning Thresholds
To keep track of your online costs, you can define threshold
values for time online and data capacity for each Internet Ser-
vice Provider. A message will notify you when these thresh-
olds have been reached. A red bar is also displayed in the
FRITZ!web window.
