A month ago i canceled my broadband internet at home.

I survive now with 7GB LTE data and public WiFi.

That was the only solution for me to get out of the habit of mindlessly browsing the web, watching YouTube etc...

So i have 230MB Data per Day, that's enough for me to get work done and some casual browsing.

If i wanna watch a YouTube video i have to get out out of the house, walk to the next WiFi, download it, go home and watch it.

I have often considered doing this myself. My current browsing habits are a disjointed, site-to-site flitting mess that leaves me less informed and more annoyed.

- Open Reddit/FB/IG, browse briefly

- Switch to a news site, scan headlines, get irritated with almost-clickbait headlines

- Switch back to Reddit/FB/IG by reflex, even though I know nothing's changed.

The last time I lacked near-24/7 internet access was when living abroad in 2007. I'd go to an internet cafe daily, where once I was done with emails, IMs etc, I'd save a folder of HTML pages (mainly message board threads) to my USB drive for offline reading. It made my browsing experience much more time-efficient, as my Internet use had a clear starting point and an ending point, sort of like a newspaper.
