You haven't provided enough information. What devices connect to your wifi? What operating system is running on those devices?

All you can do besides operating system and all applications set to no auto-update is with the browser.
Example Firefox:
- load tabs only when you look at them, no preload
- Adblock Plus set to no Ads (also no "friendly" ones)
- Flashblock, no loading of Flash without you wanting
- with 2GB I suggest to disable loading of images - only load on demand

With the nowadays oversized webpages 2GB won't last so long nevertheless I am afraid. Surf-discipline is needed.....

Thanks. Going to register that phone number to a porn wasp so your money can disappear quickly too.

Is your Vodafone WiFi network password protected?
Someone probably discovered your open network and is using your Wifi thing-a-magic for large downloads.

Jass I don't know what I would do with only 2GB of data. I go through 2GB of mobile data on my phone alone every month.
