<p class="p3">Since you can&#8217;t get around paying for Internet services, you&#8217;ll want to make sure you find the lowest price possible.</p>
<p class="p3">If you&#8217;ve ever wondered how to save money on internet, you&#8217;ve come to the right place! Keep reading for five great tips that are sure to help you save.</p>
<p class="p3"><b>1. Buy Your Own Router</b></p>
<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 3.0.1 -->
<div class="quads-location quads-ad135804 " id="quads-ad135804" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;" data-lazydelay="3000">

</div>

<p class="p3">If you&#8217;re renting a modem/router from your Internet provider, you&#8217;re getting ripped off.</p>
<p class="p3">Earlier this year, Xfinity increased its monthly rental fee from <a href="https://20somethingfinance.com/comcast-xfinity-raises-modem-rental-fee-price/"><span class="s1">$13 to $14 per month</span></a>. This isn&#8217;t new, either. Comcast has steadily increased rental fees for years now, with rental fees starting at only $10 or so per month.</p>
<p class="p3">Sure, that might not seem like much. But consider this: you can head to your local Best Buy and purchase your own router for less than $100.</p>
<p class="p3">If you&#8217;re using Comcast, you&#8217;ll pay $168 per year in rental fees alone! That means that your router pays for itself in less than a year, plus you&#8217;re free to take it with you if you choose to change services.</p>

<p class="p3"><b>2. Renegotiate Your Rates</b></p>
<p class="p3">Major carriers sign subscribers to contracts, which promise a certain service at a certain price, often for a year or two. Once the contract expires, they&#8217;ll often increase your rate.</p>
<p class="p3">However, you&#8217;re not helpless here.</p>
<p class="p3">Hop onto the customer service portal and explain your dissatisfaction with your increased rates. It&#8217;s okay to bring up promotions at other carriers if you&#8217;re thinking of switching.</p>

</div>

<p class="p3"><b>3. Switch Providers</b></p>
<p class="p3">If your current provider can&#8217;t give you a better deal and your contract is up, there&#8217;s no harm in switching providers. Companies offer promotional pricing all the time, which is perfect for getting great service at a lower cost.</p>
<p class="p3">The downside is that you can&#8217;t negotiate on these promotional rates. As a result, you&#8217;ll want to shop around before coming to a final decision.</p>
<p class="p3"><b>4. Bundle Services</b></p>
<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 3.0.1 -->
<div class="quads-location quads-ad135804 " id="quads-ad135804" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;" data-lazydelay="3000">

</div>

<p class="p3">The majority of providers offer other services like mobile or <a href="https://www.shentel.com/"><span class="s2">advanced television services</span></a>. If you&#8217;re using the same carrier for multiple utilities, you can create a bundled plan to save some extra cash.</p>
<p class="p3">Speak with a customer representative and let them know that you&#8217;re looking to bundle or simply enroll in a new plan altogether.</p>
<p class="p3"><b>5. Watch Out for Data Caps</b></p>
<p class="p3">Most major Internet providers enforce data caps, which grant subscribers a monthly allowance of data. Should users go over the limit, providers may tack on extra fees to your monthly bill.</p>
<!-- WP QUADS Content Ad Plugin v. 3.0.1 -->
<div class="quads-location quads-ad135804 " id="quads-ad135804" style="float:none;text-align:center;padding:0px 0 0px 0;" data-lazydelay="3000">

</div>

<p class="p3">You can get around data caps by shelling out a bit of extra cash each month for an unlimited data plan. While it costs more upfront, it may save you money if you consistently exceed your data cap each month.</p>
<p class="p3">Otherwise, you&#8217;ll want to monitor your data usage. Avoid auto-downloads on game consoles, lower your video quality when streaming your favorite shows, and be conscious of large downloads.</p>
