Q: I am really new at this....I recently purchased an ipad mini. I now have an icloud email address but wonder if I can stop using the DSL & just use icloud & run that through my PC, I have windows 8. I'd like to stop paying for the internet services I have.

I am really new at this. . . I recently purchased an ipad mini. I now have an icloud address & would like to use that for my PC, use Windows 8, & get rid of my DSL. Is that possible?

    Accessing iCloud with your iPad requires a data connection to the internet, either using wifi or a cellular data plan.  If you cancel your home internet service, you will not be able to access iCloud until you connect to another wifi hotspot, or pay for a cellular data plan if you have a wifi + celluar model.
