摘要

A communication connection apparatus with a configuration which eliminates wasted power consumption in data communication without having a complicated mechanism. The communication connection apparatus (100), which sets the communication rate for communication between a communication terminal (T1) and a web server (W1), is provided with: a communication rate control unit (122) which detects that communication from the communication terminal (T1) to the web server (W1) is restricted; and a communication rate setting unit (123) which, when the communication rate control unit (122) has detected that communication is restricted, sets the communication rate of communication used by the communication terminal (T1) to be lower than the rate before communication was restricted.
