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...
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.
