Your Cable & Internet Bill I just recently had an epiphany that I was paying to much on my personal cable and internet and decided to call my provider. I called the 800 number and had zero luck. They tried to convince me that I was getting the best deal available at $196/month. I then went into the store and they confirmed the same thing. I asked them why new customers can lock in a 2 year rate that is much lower and they said it really wasn't less than I was paying. At that time I said, ok then cancel my cable and downgrade me to internet only at only $70/month. I went ahead and added Youtube TV for the Cable part at only $50/month. This saved me $76/month. The funny thing is, not even a month later they wanted me to bundle and save on my cable and internet and the next month I added the TV back on and brought things down even further to only $111/month. The moral of the story. Don't take no for an answer. Shop around and You WILL get a better rate. Cell Phone Service I was with the same carrier for over 20 years and actually was only paying $96/month for 2 phones. I thought that was a decent deal, but found out that I could get the same coverage through another provider that uses the same towers (Verizon) and was able to get that bill down to $30/month.
