I cancelled our cable not too long ago (fancy package with premium channels that my husband wanted originally), which brought our bill from $200/month (face punch alert) to $70/month for just high speed internet. That still seemed high just for internet, so I called again today and negotiated a package with cable and internet for $55.
However, I really didn't want cable, so I called back and negotiated more and got our high speed internet down to $42, including the fees and such. After additional research, I realized that $42 includes a modem rental of $7/month, so I'm going to research which modems are compatible and purchase my own right now.
The rep I spoke with said it's a promotional rate, but I can call back every 6 months and renew it, so I've added an alert in my calendar so I don't miss it.
I can't believe it was that easy to save over $150/month. I know this is MMM 101, but I'm still stoked! Now to work on my husband about the parking space...
