Seven ways to lower your internet bill.
Most people pay more than they need to. Start at the top of this list and stop when the bill looks right.
- Check when your promotion ended. Many bills jump after twelve months.
- Audit equipment fees. Rental fees add up; owning your own modem may save money.
- Check your speed tier. You may be paying for more than you use.
- Ask for a retention offer. Providers sometimes offer discounts to customers who say they are leaving.
- Bundle thoughtfully. Mobile with internet can reduce both bills, but only if you would buy both anyway.
- Turn on autopay and paperless billing. Often worth a monthly discount.
- Compare providers. A new-customer price elsewhere can be lower than your loyalty price.
