Also, is it possible to cancel the current service and lock inot a new offer starting around $40 per month based on usage.

I have used Strait Talk. It is only forty or fifty dollars a month. You get it through Wal Mart.

I don't know of anything that is cheap these days.  I use Spectrum for internet and I do get the $30 credit.  I use Verizon and we are on a family plan.

Have you looked into the Government credit?

Who Is Eligible for the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program?
A household is eligible if a member of the household meets one of the criteria below:

Has an income that is at or below 135% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines or participates in certain assistance programs, such as SNAP, Medicaid, or Lifeline;
Approved to receive benefits under the free and reduced-price school lunch program or the school breakfast program, including through the USDA Community Eligibility Provision in the 2019-2020, 2020-2021, or 2021-2022 school year;
Received a Federal Pell Grant during the current award year;
Experienced a substantial loss of income due to job loss or furlough since February 29, 2020 and the household had a total income in 2020 at or below $99,000 for single filers and $198,000 for joint filers; or
Meets the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's existing low-income or COVID-19 program.

Households enrolled in the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program as of 12/31/21 will continue to receive their current monthly benefit during a 60-day transition period.

What's changing?

The maximum monthly benefit will change from $50 per month to $30 per month for households not located on qualifying Tribal lands. The monthly benefit will remain at $75 per month for households on qualifying Tribal lands.
Households have new ways to qualify for the Affordable Connectivity Program such as: receiving WIC benefits or having an income at or below 200% of the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
Households that qualified for the Emergency Broadband Benefit due to a substantial loss of income as a result of a job loss or furlough since February 29, 2020, or by meeting the eligibility criteria for a participating provider's COVID-19 program, will need to requalify for the Affordable Connectivity Program. These households will receive additional details about the steps they need to take from the program administrator (USAC) or their internet service provider, in January 2022, and will be given at least 30 days to respond. They will continue to receive their full Emergency Broadband Benefit until March 1, 2022.

Try OOMA.  It is cheaper and easier to use.

To be honest, cheap internet is great. I pay quite a lot for internet, but since I bet on sports, I need good internet, so I can't save on this thing. In addition to constantly watching sports matches and sports livestreams, I read tips and predictions here https://takebet.ke/betting-tips/ht-ft-half-time-full-time. It helps me not make a mistake with a bet and make a profit.

 :cat:

I wonder if the increase in Social Security (Possibly 10% COLA) will affect our benefits like this broadband $30.00 and other Food Stamps, SSI, Food Bank eligibility etc ..  Counter productive measure that the government will be responsible for in the long run!  As in the Federal increase in interest rates made all the payments rise.
