Verizon (among other carriers) impose strict limits to the amount of data you can download/upload each month. While 5GB (Verizons current limit)
seems ample enough, one can quickly burn through this with automatic software updates, Itunes podcast subscriptions and automatic data backup services (like Carbonite).
It's not feasible to turn off all of these applications everytime I am using my broadband connection.
Does Windows 7 allow a means to automatically block internet access to specific applications for say when I'm connected via broadband and restore internet access to these applications when I'm connected to WIFI?
Thanks

Not that I know of......
I hate those arbitrary limits carriers put up. They assume we will forever be watching 400 x 300 videos for the next two years... -
I like how Verizon's unlimited plan has a 5 gb limit haha.

same network adapter or different network adapter? Different right?
Find the port numbers used by the application and block them on the firewall for verizon adapter. -
Zonealarms firewall has a program control feature which alllows you to block/allow individual applications.

I dont think theres a built-in option in windows to do that. It will need to be a setting on the application side.
If its any help, download Networx to keep track of your usage closely. Very handy program.
