Bonus Zone/ Netflix Downloads
In an attachment to conserve data I'm downloading a season from Netflix to my phone during the bonus Zone time. (2a.m. to 8a.m.) I plan to disconnect my phone from the wifi and watch later. My concern is that it will burn up my data for my phone package. Anyone have any experience or tips?
Side question: From what I've read is it accurate to say that disconnecting phones from wifi while not in use, and shutting off devices like RoKu, will help conserve data?

If you're downloading over wifi it will not use your phone's data package. If you watch something that is already downloaded, it might use some of your data if, as you're watching, Netflix connects to the Web to download something (like a notice for a new show, for example).

- Will shutting off my Roku and disconnecting phones also help conserve data?
If you cut power to things that use the net, then they won't be able to reach the net, so no data will be used. I would make sure they're completely off, even unplugged.
