How to Lower Your Internet Bill

Strategy 1: Look for Easy Cost-Cutting Opportunities

Examine your existing plan and think about your internet needs to determine if there are any easy ways to cut costs on your bill.

Reduce Your Need for Speed

Faster internet is great, but it’s not always necessary. High-speed plans often come with high costs, so understanding your actual speed needs can help you lower your bill.

  • 0-5 Mbps: Email, music streaming (one device), Google searches
  • 5-40 Mbps: Video streaming (one device), FaceTime/Skype, online gaming (one player)
  • 40-100 Mbps: Video streaming (multiple devices), gaming (multiple players), large downloads
  • 100-500 Mbps: UHD video streaming (multiple devices), fast downloads, multiplayer gaming
  • 500-1K+ Mbps: Anything you need at ultra-high speeds

Once you know the right speed for you, make adjustments to your plan.

Take Ownership of Your Equipment

Many internet providers rent wireless equipment, which adds a monthly fee to your bill. Instead, consider buying your own router. If the upfront cost is less than renting long-term, you’ll save money.

Put Your Bill in Someone Else’s Name

Some providers offer lower introductory rates for new customers. You may be able to switch your bill to a roommate or significant other to take advantage of these deals.

Strategy 2: Negotiate Your Bill Yourself

Once you've handled the quick fixes, it's time to negotiate with your provider. While it can take time, the savings are worth it.

Know Your Competition

Research other providers in your area (e.g., Verizon, Spectrum, AT&T, Comcast) and compare prices. Call them to ask about their current promotions.

Analyze Your Bill

Go through your bill line by line to identify any unnecessary charges, such as unused phone connections.

Call Your Service Provider

Be prepared for long hold times and ask directly for a lower rate. Mention competitor offers and be firm in your request.

Be Ready to Walk Away

If your provider refuses to lower your bill, ask for a supervisor. If they still won’t budge, threaten to switch providers.
