I dropped my home internet service about a month ago. I activated my cell phone’s hotspot capability, so I still effectively have internet, just much slower and I’m much more conscious about using it.
Pros:
Saving $45/mo.
I spend more time doing productive things.
Cons:
Streaming multimedia is no longer a viable option for entertainment.
The internet isn’t as fun anymore.
Interesting artifacts:
I’m getting to sleep earlier. Now that the internet is significantly less fun, it’s much easier to shut it off.
Since text loads more easily than video and graphics, I’m reading more stories.
I’m also working through my backlog of things to do, rather than acquiring yet more things to do.
