How one couple beat the cable company
The breaking point came in July 2012. Our Comcast bill for Internet,
television, and phone hit $184 a month. And that was without premium channels
like HBO. Add cell phones, and our total telecommunications bill was $244.
By last month, we had chopped that to $97 a month – a savings of $1,764 a year.
But before explaining how we did it, a caution: If you are a diehard Red Sox
fan, this may not work for you. That said, our telecommunications diet plan is
based on four precepts:
1. Pay only for what you use.
2. Buy your own equipment.
3. Mine the Internet for all its riches.
4. Comparison shop (yes, that takes time, but if you’re a cheap geek like me,
it’s part of the fun.)
