Could you disconnect your cable and internet for a year or longer?
We (meaning my family) decided to do this so we can spend more quality time together without resorting to watching television as the first thing to do when we enter our house or spend hours on the internet. We save $160.00 a month (Comcast), which equals $1920 a year! For all those who know me (which is not alot.lol) I will be officially offline on the 28th this month. |

A couple of years ago I got basic cable. I only have it to get better reception on the TV. I don't have regular cable because I don't want my child to be a couch potato or watch too adult of shows. I just got the internet, two years ago. I only spend about $50/month on the two.
You'll be missed.  |

We decided to do more outdoor activities as a family and stay away from the television or internet all together. I am sure we will not manage the whole time and end up buying or renting occassionally a movie or documentary. Yet the goal is to go out more

I just disconnected my landline phone. I did that a year ago ..  We hardly ever watch TV .. I could not disconnect Internet though. My kids use it for school and I look for work on line (which most companies are using online apps anyway) .. so that's not happening any time soon. Good luck to you Smiless |

I don't have cable or a land line. I don't think I could disconnect the internet for business reasons. I live alone anyway, so nobody to spend quality time with, unless you count the cat.

We will be travelling to Key West, Everglades, Miccussokee Reservation, Walt Disney, Sea World, as of other great places on our free time instead. Do some barbecues, swim at the beach, and so forth. I think it will do us good.

Yes if you have a business or need it for business that is a whole new story all together. Also for those who live way out in the country away from civilization I can also understand this. |

Good luck to you Smiless My child needs the computer for school too. The school, Scouts, youth group at church, and sports coaches all contact me through email too. Their homework and grades are online too. And...I'm addicted to Mingle.

I might be able to live without tv, but the internet is used for so much: news, learning, socializing & family cohesion, homework and my daughter's school communications/grades/assignments. I suppose if I had a full family/home life and no kid in school, it would be considered. Afterall, we lived without it for eons. But, then, we had tv for news at least. And a lot of papers are going belly up and becoming smaller, so......... Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!! |
