I don't use it, but here's the gist:

You pay a monthly fee for a certain number of DVDs at a time. You can keep them as long as you want, you get your next DVD when you return the first one. Turn around time is decent to good depending on where you live and how much you rent.

You also get access to online on-demand streaming based on their library. It's a lot of older movies, some TV seasons and an assortment of goodies depending on what your interests are. So you can watch those on your computer or stream them to your TV in a variety of ways.

You may end up wanting to pay more for better quality internet as long as you still save money over paying for more of a cable TV plan, but it depends on your provider.
