In the last article, we discussed the terrible state of the economy and how we could put away money using the Internet. In this article I want to give you more information on saving money on your everyday utilities. You're probably wondering where else can he help us save cash on. Hey, there are lots of things that I can help you with.
Usually, if you're on the Internet that means you have cable TV that you watch on a regular basis. This means that you are surely paying at least $130 or more per month for the privilege of using cable TV and Internet. Some of you probably have digital phone service that is included in that price.
Like I said in the last article, digital phone service will save you a lot of money. Now we have a new opportunity to save you even more money. Let's visit through this next opportunity step by step.
With your cable system, you surely have high speed Internet. You also decided that you wanted to load it up with the fastest high-speed cable you could get. Then you went to your cable TV provider and said, “I want all these packages”. You wanted DVR, HBO and some of the other premium channels.
So, with your bundled service of high-speed Internet, cable TV and digital phone service, you are paying in excess of $130. I know people that are paying $160 or more for their bundled package.
I was able to make significant changes to my monthly bill so that my TV, Internet and phone bill are much cheaper. I can hear it now, you're saying, “how did he do that?”
Okay, here we go. To keep this short, I’ll just give you the short version of what I did.
First, I got rid of my cable TV and went to satellite TV. Number two, I got rid of cable for the Internet and went with DSL high-speed. So, with that combination, I was able to reduce my bill from $160 per month to less than $100 per month. I had already switched to digital phone service so that was a wash.
I did add one new super item that's about six dollars more per month. I added a digital video telephone and boy am I glad I did that. Yes, the Internet is a tad slower due to DSL but I don’t miss it. Who needs all that speed? I would rather have a faster computer and the Video Phone.
I'm not going to talk about the digital video telephone in this article except to tell you I love having my video. So, if you are anxious to see about it or to learn more about the digital video phone, you will just have to wait for my next article or you can sneak a peek by using the link in the author's box below. See you next time.
