Married with kids, I don't have time to download a lot anymore. I've got a laptop and a desktop, but rarely power either on. I've shut down at home almost completely and use my phone's web browser and apps for most tasks/searches I would have done previously.
My kids aren't online much because they're too young....but I have lots of DVDs for them. I turned off home internet a few years back to save $70/month because my I never used it. I couldn't justify throwing money away and now stream from my 10Gig max monthly hotspot connection that's already included with my Sprint plan.... (Unlimited plan @ 23GB max) We have DirecTV, but had them pause our service for a few months so we could enjoy Summer. We honestly don't miss it because we get 13 channels over the air.... There are a ton of people 'cutting the cord', but they're really just cutting cable and falling back to Netflix or some other service that requires Internet. We don't really mind sticking to HD OTA broadcast and DVDs we already own. DTV is $105/month for our house.....internet is $70....so that's $175/month saved if we leave DTV off....seems worth it for a few years. If nothing else, we could turn it off for 6 months to save $650 and get an introductory rate again when/if we sign back up.
