Took a money-saving tip from one of the other threads and tried to re-negotiate my $99 month Verizon bill. All I have is FIOS 50/50 internet and that's all I want. I really don't want another company coming in, drilling more holes and messing up my setup unless it is going to be well worth it. And I have to say, Verizon has been super reliable.
Best "deal" they would give me is $79 with a 2 year contract. However, if I agreed to the other crud that I don't want - phone, tv, the deal was more like $50 a month. I checked the 2 other competing companies and their pricing is roughly the same.
I'm starting to think that the only frugal strategy is to take the lowest-priced package without a contract and endure the hassle of switching every year. Hey, we're retired, we can wait all day for the cable guy and even putty up the old holes. Is this what other forum members do?
