Although I'm pretty handy around tractors, engines, etc., alot of the modern computer-related things just go over my head, so a little help with something would be appreciated!
Here's the deal- I live in a remote area where there's not a lot of choices for internet. Had Vieero internet from a nearby cell tower, and it was barely faster than dial-up.
Based on the recommendation of a neighbor I switched to Verizon a few months ago. Signed up for I think 10GB plan(whatever that means)...the girl told me it'd be $90 per month or so. There's two of us here in the house, combined internet time is probably 4-6 hours per day at the most, which includes normal web surfing like reading this sight and occasionally watching some u-tube videos, etc.
Had it set up for automatic payments so I hadn't payed much attention to it, but today I got online and looked at my statement- it was over $400 this month due to overuse! Something like 33.38GB used.
They want me to sign up for a 30GB per month plan, which is about $200 per month. Way too much I think!
So, here's my question- there's two computers in the house, and they pick up their internet signal through a little WiFi thing. We just leave everything on and connected all the time. Would I save a bunch of data usage by disconnecting both computers from the internet when not in use, or by powering off the WiFi thing?
My son says we should switch to satellite internet, but I'd hate for the computers to go down when storms go over like the tv does...he mentioned CenturyLink...is that satellite? Any other/better options?

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
