You know how they say the best things in life are free? Well, clearly, they weren\u2019t talking about your internet bill!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That thing seems to climb higher every month, kind of like it’s in a competition with your electric bill to see which one can go higher, faster!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But don\u2019t throw in the towel and go back to reading the newspaper (the actual paper one) just yet! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember how you used to haggle at the farmer’s market for the best deal on prunes? Well, it’s time to dust off those skills and use them on your internet provider. Here’s how:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Call your provider and ask to speak to the retention department. These folks have the power to give you deals that would make even your penny-pinching Uncle Earl proud.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Be polite but firm. Tell them you’ve found better deals elsewhere (even if you haven’t \u2013 we won’t tell).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. If they won’t budge, don’t be afraid to threaten to cancel. Just be prepared to follow through if they call your bluff!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Pro tip: Practice your negotiation skills on your grandkids first. If you can convince little Timmy to eat his broccoli, you can convince Comcast to lower your bill. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Slow Your Roll: Reduce Your Internet Speed<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    You might think you need blazing-fast internet to keep up with the youngsters, but unless you’re secretly running a Bitcoin mining operation in your basement, you probably don’t need that 1 Gbps plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Here’s a handy guide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
