AIBU to not bother with broadband?

We are going to be cut off in a few weeks and I can't be arsed to shop around, plus we will need a new bt line installed.

We are with Virgin but our renew price was stupid. We have TV in two rooms and phone, broadband. Renewal was high even for just the internet and phone without the TV it would have cost us more then it does now Hmm

Anyway bt lines are all that's left and I can't be bothered. Kids use it for school but it's tough shit really isn't it. Me and DH don't need it for work so, I'm thinking just leave it?

How U am I being to think I can survive without in 2021?

Should say we have mobile data on phones for email.
Kids will have to have paper copies of work.

Blimey Op don't think that I I have ever read on Mumsnet before that a parent couldn't be arsed to do some research on a matter that will directly impact their childrens' education.

Thanks @Oodlenoodle12 I hope we can move over to that

I'm being a bit thick here, but doesn't this still require some kind of line to the house?

Yes but it's virgin's line (normally an underground cable rather than an overhead line), no one else can use it. If you want to get broadband via another provider you need a bt line/ connection to openreach network

Thank you @alienspiderbee. We only have BT here, no cable and no fibre. Our landline wire is underground, not overhead.
