My mobile internet provider limits network speed after 1Gb of transfer. Is it possible to prevent Ubuntu from checking for updates automatically if connected on mobile broadland ?
It would be fantastic if it only checked for updates daily when connected on wifi or ethernet, but never when connected on mobile broadland.
You can set Automatically check for Updates to Never in Software sources or you can access it in Settings option from Ubuntu Software Center.
So when using Wifi or Ethernet you can check for updates manually every-time thus preserving Bandwidth in Mobile Broadband.
According to the specification and this bug report the update manager should warn you if you're on mobile broadband and there are updates available.
However if you want to file a bug on having all that be automatic depending on what speed network you're on it sounds like a good idea for a wishlist bug report:
