Internet useage

There must be something wrong with me, I don't use t'internet every day.

Everyone seems to be here every day at all hours and I've got friends who wake up and go online like a smoker reaches for a fag.

So, how long do you reckon you spend online in a 24 hr period?

Re: Internet useage

I guess it depends, I work on a computer and am online every day during work hours. At home I don't watch TV so the PC is my entertainment. Some watch endless repeats of tv shows and are glued to the telly, I choose to chat with friends. It's what ever makes you happy.

Thankfully I can take it or leave it, never got hooked on the internet, being a smoker I'd sooner have a fag and a pint any day.

Re: Internet useage

I'm logged on 24/7 but that's because my phone is online 24/7.
I use the Internet a lot as I'm emailing throughout the day and checking material prices and availability.

Having said that I do use it for leisure time a little too much.

Re: Internet useage

My computer is on (and on line) from when I get up to when I go to bed but often overnight and naturally my phone is on line all the time too. I rarely use my phone for browsing just apps such as the train timetables, Google Maps or email.

In reality I possibly spend up to 45mins a day actually browsing the Internet perhaps 10/15 minutes at a time when I am home but my computer spends far longer downloading just broadcast UK TV shows for example (at the moment Dickensian and Death in Paradise series 5). On wet days it might be used for longer.

I pay for 100Gb download allowance per month (unlimited uploads) and use it all. Getting the NBN and a 100Mbps fibre connection made a big difference to my usage.

A while back I asked the same thing as some people seem to be on here all day every day. Don't know where they find the time!

Re: Internet useage

It varies with me, some days I'm on a lot but other days I just don't bother, depends what I'm doing.
Never go on first thing in the morning.
