Zahavasdad, sorry, but you obviously did not read my post fully. The pros are arguable in terms of domestic use. By which I mean there are useful uses for the internet, but not to the extent that there is any justification for bringing up children with it in the house.
Business and shopping uses can be easily confined to any public computer or office. The excuse of using the internet for learning is the oldest in the book, and still doesn’t hold sway for me. It’s not as if seforim are that hard to come by that you need the internet for it. If you’re that desperate there are many non internet enabled programs, or maybe just get a kindle, as friends of mine have done. Trust me, Hashem would rather you didn’t have internet in the home, as virtually every Godol holds.
And that leaves communication. This easily falls into the exact category outlined in my earlier posts, of a minimal use that does not absolutely require domestic use, and which certainly goes no way towards justifying home internet. So why not do Zahava a favour, and stop attempting to justify the unjustifiable.
