Equipment $7

Voice $37

1) I don't use voice, but I need it for my security system
2) My internet connection is barely 20mbps, bullshit
3) What the hell are surcharges? Isn't that just a fancy name for "extra shit we just tack on so we can get your money"?


I feel like I'm just getting ripped off. Anyone else cut the cord? Maybe I should go full streaming.
I'm embarrassed to admit this but I was in much worse shape. Total wireless bill, all in was about $340...I just paid it and didn't care until I started looking at cable, internet, wireless and ancillaries as a communications budget. This was an eye opener. I was basically paying about $11K per year for comm. Yes. I was stuck on the idiot channel because everything was separate. To make a long story short I spent over an hour on the phone with COX (Cocks) and went from multiple DVRs to the whole house system along with top level internet and phone for about $160. Phone bill went from $450 for 4 lines, all iPhones to $250. The moral of my story is that these bills start low and creep up until there's a WTF moment.

Cheers, Doc.

My total bill including mobile is $500 a month. It's insane.
