    click on the connection icon in your task bar, a side bar would appear with your connection details. Right click on your connection (ex. smart) and you'll see the option to switch to a non metered connection

    Just want to share... I tried to isolate the problem with my device. Like I mentioned I am connecting to my broadband device using Wi-Fi.

    I first did a continuous ping on my router's gateway address (192.168.1.1) to see if something is happening with my connection. I noticed that even my connection to the router is acting up (I sometimes get a "request timed out" error... heck it's a local address!).

    When I tried to connect my device via USB, I'm not getting any problems.

    My first impression was, perhaps either the Wi-Fi connection, or some setting in the device might have caused the problem, because I am not having this problem before. Turned out that setting WPA2 in my Wi-Fi security in the device is causing it. I downgraded it to WPA and my connection to the router gateway is now stable.

    And then, I tried installing another Windows Store app, and I could now download successfully.

    If you are also using a Mobile Wifi for your device, then perhaps you should try lowering down the security of the device to WPA. Or, restore your settings to factory defaults and see if the problem goes away. Then by trial-and-error, change settings one by one.

    Just want to ask those who are also using Globe Broadband in the Philippines, what device are you using, and what plan are you currently subscribed to?

    I'm using a Huawei E586E Mobile Wifi device supplied with my Globe Tattoo Unlimited 999 plan.

    I have to admit that at times, my internet connection is not stable, but I understand it's the nature of mobile broadband connections. My problem though, is why am I having the same error even if the connection is fast enough (1Mbps and above is fast enough for me).

    Perhaps we can isolate if this happens largely to users of the same ISP, so we can isolate the problem.
