Download limit extended by 800 x 600

If I reduce my screen display from 1280 x 800 to 800 x 600

Do I download less Mb and therefore less likely to go over my download limit?

Do pages load faster?

If you know please advise

Many thanks

    Why would changing the resolution of your screen change anything?

    If anything, it will make more web pages more difficult to use....

    It's like making your letter box smaller whilst hoping that you'll get a cheaper newspaper but still expect to get everything that everyone else can get in their paper - whilst also creating more work for that poor paperboy (just like you create more work for yourself moving the screen around for "wider" web sites).

    No because the MB's downloaded will still be the same

    Changing resolution doesn't change the size of the files you are accessing

    Errm No. Screen Resoultion has nothing to do with internet speed. You need faster broadband for that.
