Millions of Brits stick with current broadband provider rather than risk no Netflix

Internet Addiction

Obviously you could go without access for a couple days, it wouldn't kill you.

I cancelled home phone & signed up with a free VOIP provider. I used the savings to buy a newspaper subscription, yes I did!

What's your phone bill? Oh- mine? Oh yes, mine's free now, thanks.

Then I cancelled digital TV and built an antenna with wire coat hangers and 2x4 board and cardboard covered with aluminum foil, now I've got digital broadcast TV - free. I used the savings to buy 2 year access to Motor Trend On Demand, superior to Netflix IMO. To each of us our own.

For internet (because you need that for VOIP and MTOD to work) I bought an old cable modem and hired 3rd party ISP for less than 1/2 price.

Sorted!
