Tips on How to Decrease Your Internet Bill

Need help with Internet bills? Access to the Internet is no longer a luxury. Many people need it to work, stay connected with family and more. Unfortunately, managing internet costs can be a real struggle.

Follow these tips to lower your Internet bill without sacrificing that all-important connection.

Buy Your Own Equipment

Take a look at your latest Internet bill. There's a good chance you're paying a good amount to rent your provider's equipment. Equipment rental fees can vary but often cost around $15 a month. At first, that cost isn't a big deal. But when you compare the long-term rental expense to the cost of buying a modem and router upfront, you'll see that renting is a bad investment.

You can easily buy the equipment yourself. Many providers even list approved devices that work with their service. It's a higher upfront cost, but you'll lower your monthly bill and save in the long run.

Lower Your Speeds

How fast is your upload and download speed? Many people who need help with Internet bills can downgrade their plan without noticing much of a service difference. Providers often advertise the highest speeds possible. But do you really need over 900 megabits per second?

The average user will do fine with 50 or 100. That downgrade is unnoticeable for most, but you'll see it on your monthly bill!

Bundle with Other Services

Another great way to save is to bundle your Internet with other services you use. It's common for providers to offer awesome deals that include Internet, telephone and cable. Some even include services like home security or cloud storage. You'll pay more for all those things separately. Bundling them can net you substantial savings while still giving you access to everything you need.

Shop Around

Don't be afraid to shop around. These days, you likely have multiple providers vying for your business. There's nothing better than those introductory deals! While providers will eventually raise your rate, you may get a year or two at a surprisingly low discount!

See what's available in your area. Competing ISPs might offer better rates and services than what you currently have.

I know a sorta made a small post along these lines the other day, but something a lil more official of!!

im kinda broke rn, between the recent stuff with losing my car and having to get a new one and work literally scheduling me 13 hrs a week. Im slowly losing money and it got really bad this month after paying my bills and everything and realizing I had just 300 bucks in my bank account.

My current job hasn't been working with me to give me the hours i need to make a living wage and iv been trying to get a new job for months with no success and it's looking like i could really use a lil extra support via online commission work rn until I can land a more solid paying job. I really hate to sound like a desperate wet cardboard box beast but I still need to insure my new car and cant afford it as i stand right now.

I wont ask for donations, I think im going to be fine, but a lil money to help keep my head above the water would be great so im just gonna promo my commission work. To anyone who can commission me in some way or another would be awesome! I appreciate any support I can get rn even just a reblog

i wrote this as a joke because I wanted to strangle a guy watching tiktoks without headphones on the bus, but im genuinely disturbed that we've gotten to a point where convenience comes first. and it depresses me even more that its used to justify and monetize greed

my fellow anxiety havers what is one of your mundane day-to-day tasks that should by no means be anything remarkable but feels like you are being hunted for sport. i’ll go first: putting all of your groceries on the conveyor belt during checkout is like a long series of quick time events to me

sometimes looking at like Self Help Strategies lists for the symptoms I'm having is always just like:

thing that I already do

thing I have tried 10 times

thing I already do

thing that I don't have the money to do

thing I already do

thing I've been doing since I was 10yrs old to no avail

thing that is impossible given my situation

thing that doesn't apply to me

thing that I already do

thing I have already tried

hrmm, oh wait, maybe finally- OH, yeah.. okay. thing that I already do but it was just phrased slightly differently

thing I have already done

Nobody ever donates but I just need $600 so I don't lose my car this month. Please, any reblogs or smaller help would be something. I've been looking for work since August and nobody's even given me an interview, and it'll only get worse if I don't have the car I bought on loan before being suddenly let go without warning.

Hi, so I’m really freaking out, i might be homeless soon

I hate to do this, but I really have no where to turn that doesn’t put me in harm’s way.

My student loans are something I had to stop paying because of my unemployment back in January, and I haven’t quite recovered from being jobless for about 2 months yet, so the debt is piling up.

They’ve threatened with collections, since they can withhold my entire salary (which is $360 usd per month!) because of how high the debt is.

I was able to ask them for a payment agreement, which would make the monthly payment a lot easier for me (since I support myself and my gf with my salary, since she’s a full-time student), but they’ve asked me for an initial payment of $680 usd for the payment agreement to start (something which, I can’t afford).

They’ve asked me to normalize the account, and gave me a due date of May 31st, which is ~insane~ for the pending balance amount I have. I’ve pleaded my case, and they told me that’s the best they can do. I’d be able to pay $50 usd from my next paycheck, so I’d just need the rest, it’s just an unmanageable amount and i genuinely don’t have anywhere else i can gather money from.

So please, if you’d like to help out a queer latinx and their trans gf not become homeless, I’d really, greatly appreciate it. (I can draw something for you if you donate, I’m also up for selling n/s/f/w material)

Here is my own student loan statement, I can also provide more proof if you dm!

please help me out of a financial crisis

hello, i try to never do this but im in serious need of money, urgently. ive had to recently move to las vegas due to california being too expensive to be sustainable. i have to pay rent in a few days. i only have 200 right now and i need to pay 600 for rent for this month!

ko-fi - for an incentive, you'll get an uncolored doodle of whatever you request for only 5 dollars!

pa.ypal / ven.mo - if you don't really need an incentive, pretty much ANY amount of money would be appreciated. thank you so much.

i'm a broke as fuck trans person with autism trying to survive on my own. i havent been able to land a stable and well paying job and although ive been looking for new jobs, as we all know they take far too long to get back to you. while i continue to job hunt and attempt to make quick money on the side. i've been forced to come on here and pray that there are some people who see this who want to help me out in raising money quicker. im not even gonna go into my five missed months of my car payments. im absolutely desperate at this point. i dont really have anybody who can take care of me in the worst case scenario so any amount of money i'd be so, so grateful for. thank you so much for considering.

college is making me want to shoot myself in the head really bad, which is crazy because i thought i was completely done with feeling suicidal after highschool ended. my life is looking up and i have a lot to look forward to.

but the funny thing is. that beautiful future, which is the reason i don't want to die, is only obtainable through going to college and working very hard and stressing myself out all the time. which, in turn, makes me want to die.
