6 Ways To Trim Your Internet Bill

Let’s face it: we’re all trying to save a few bucks these days. The good news is that you can reduce costs without compromising the quality of your Internet service. In this article, we’ll explore six ways to help you reduce your Internet bill.

1. Consider Changing Technology

To kickstart your journey to reduce Internet costs, consider a change in technology. This involves sticking with the same Internet provider while modifying the type of Internet connection you’re subscribed to.

Many Internet providers offer different technologies. For instance, EBOX provides cable Internet, ADSL, and 100% fibre Internet. Prices for packages can vary significantly between technologies.

In EBOX’s case, 100% fibre plans are by far the most economical. If fibre is available in your area, you can even ask for a change of technology (migration) directly in your Customer Zone.

In addition to reducing your price, a technology change can sometimes eliminate certain costs, such as equipment rental fees.

2. Reevaluate Your Needs

Take a moment to assess your Internet usage habits. Are you paying for high-speed when it’s not necessary?

If you find that your current plan doesn’t align with your needs, it might be time to switch to a more suitable plan, potentially resulting in monthly savings.

3. Reduce Your Number of Devices

If you’re renting devices like a modem, router, or TV decoder, consider using your own:

1. First, check which devices are being charged to you; some might already be provided for free.
2. Inquire with your Internet provider to see if it’s possible to use your own equipment.
3. If so, check the list of compatible devices.

For example, EBOX publishes the list of compatible devices on its website. An EBOX customer who stops using TV decoders by opting to download the EBOX TV app on a device like Chromecast, Firestick, or a smart TV can save several tens of dollars per month.

4. Take Advantage of the Referral Program

Many providers offer referral programs that reward existing customers for recommending new ones. Learn about these programs with your provider, as they could entitle you to significant discounts or credits.

EBOX’s referral program gives you the opportunity to enjoy a $25 credit when you refer a friend who subscribes to their services. And that’s not all – your friend will also receive a $25 credit. The best part? These credits accumulate, and there’s no limit to the number of people you can refer. It’s a great way to save while sharing the benefits of excellent Internet service with your loved ones.

5. Stay Alert to Price Changes

Internet service providers often adjust prices or launch new promotions. Stay vigilant by regularly checking your provider’s website. If a better offer exists, don’t hesitate to take advantage of it!

Pssst… if you change technology, you can often benefit from promotions reserved for new customers.

6. Bundle Your Services

Try bundling your Internet service with other services like television or telephony. Many providers offer discounts for bundled services, providing an opportunity for savings. Evaluate whether bundling aligns with your needs and explore available options to find the most cost-effective solution.

In conclusion, reducing your Internet bill is not only achievable but can also be relatively simple. By considering alternative technologies, reassessing your needs, managing your devices wisely, participating in referral or loyalty programs, staying alert to price changes, and exploring bundling options, you can regain control of your Internet expenses and have a little more flexibility to treat yourself.
