Doncha hate it when a bill is more than you think it is going to be?

That is a good deal! To get it all for 60 is quite marvelous. Friend wants to get the phone on this plan but I don't want to. This is the second line. He pays it now, and I don't even want it. If I put it in the with the internet I know I will end up paying for it.

@snowy22315 We are with this same provider since we bought this house 25 years ago. When we told them we could have a better deal, they lowered the price and we now have a good deal.

@LadyDuck I have a story about that..but it is too disgusting to tell. I will keep it as my own private horror..

That is terrible. I would shop around. Do you have Spectrum? That is what my parents have, and my mom often complains of the bill.

@snowy22315 Yes, we have Spectrum. I think they're all the same.

I had cable for years. It got worse as to what was actually on there to watch, way too many sports that I am not interested in...and it was inching up every single month. So ridiculous. I was not sorry to go to streaming. I get live local news and programs, live mainstream news, and more shows and movies than I could ever watch. Wonderful selections of things to enjoy, way more than cable, for a lot less money. Cable costs will continue to go up. The lady I know that runs our cable office said that their costs go up monthly, and they have to be passed on. She also said (not to offend anyone, just the truth) that basically the only people paying for cable now are over 70, and they don't want to change. Well, no one wants change. But streaming is a good change, and I am so glad I did cut that cord. I don't pay nearly the amount I was paying with cable, and it's so much better.

Oh gosh, I would kill to have an internet bill like that!!

@snowy22315 We were still lucky to get a cheaper price than before, we didn't have many choices of providers.

That is good. I need to do something about the weather stripping or something this winter. Although the insulation is great..I think there are leaks around some of the windows and doors. It costs more to heat this place then I think it should.

@marguicha I know about that. My windows are double or triple glazed though. It is usually just older houses that do that. I need something in the crevices not over the window itself

@snowy22315 Afriend who worked with solar energy told me decades ago to put plastics over the windows in winter. It helps a lot. It is better still if you leave some space between the glass and the plastic.

@Juliaacv I bet ya get deals on maple syrup though..

That is pretty high, but if you are satisfied, it is all good.

@snowy22315 Typically everything costs more here in Canada than in the US.

I was paying 95 with Viasat, but that included a protection plan.

@Tampa_girl7 oh very..plus it is unlimited.

@snowy22315 I know you are happy to be saving now.

Yep, never hurts to ask about that.

That's good. So, you just have Internet service on the phone then?

@snowy22315 no we have a wireless modem. We have bundled it with the phone service.

Yeah, that is how they get you in today's world things like this are considered necessities.

That's great.

They seem to think we have nothing to use our money for other than to pay bills!

@snowy22315

Ha, Ha, Ha.... That is where the bills would put us eventually. Of course we have to pay for that too...

Yes, people are very satisfied with this service overall. no complaints from me other than the screwy first bill.

That is more than reasonable

It should.

This has been a rough week with service providers.

@snowy22315 it certainly was.
