Lower your internet bill

Most internet bills go up when a promo ends. One call with the right numbers can bring the price back down. You make the call; we never call for you.

Key facts

Your provider must give you a broadband label for your plan: price, intro rate, fees, data limit and speeds. Find it in your online account, or ask for it. (FCC: Broadband Consumer Labels)
If a label is missing or its fees are wrong, you can file a free complaint with the FCC. (FCC Consumer Complaint Center)
Low income? Lifeline takes up to $9.25 a month off phone or internet service (one per household). (FCC: Lifeline discount for phone or internet)

Before you call

The speed you really need. A slower, cheaper plan may be enough.
One or two prices from other providers at your address, with fees.
Your account number and security PIN.
Your walk-away price: the most you will pay before you switch.

FAQ

What should I have ready before I call about my internet bill?

Your latest bill: the total, every fee, and the date your promo price ends. One or two prices from other providers at your address, with fees.

How do I work out what I saved?

Bill now minus the new price, per month, times the months the new price lasts (up to 12 for the first year), minus one-time fees. Example: $120 − $85 = $35 a month, × 12 = $420.

Estimates, not financial advice. Taxes, insurance, PMI and fees vary by lender, county and city; confirm with your lender, dealer and state agency before acting.
