Currently, my plan is to not get internet at home, and to rely on public places such as libraries/Starbux/etc whenever necessary.
I don’t currently have a Smartphone, but am pretty convinced that there are way too many advantages to having an iPhone as a blind introvert to avoid one forever (Android accessibility is too weak to rely upon at present). I am worried about how to make this work without having the constant temptation of 24⁄7 internet access hanging over my head (I don’t really know how any of the data plans work / what extremely useful apps require an internet connection / etc).
(I also don’t know if any of my neighbors would have unsecured wi-fi, or if the signal would be strong enough to access from home. At my parents’ house, the wi-fi from across the street is strong enough and unsecure enough that my laptop connects automatically if nothing else is available.)
Seconded!
