One of the best ways you can save money on your internet service in the long term is by selecting a price for life plan or one that offers an extended price freeze. While most advertised prices for internet plans are promotional rates that will dramatically increase after the first three to 12 months (even if you have a two-year contract), a plan that locks in the price means you will be paying the same price for internet for as long as you stay with that select plan or the term runs out. This price hike also occurs for providers that offer a no-contract option as well.
Price for life refers to the life of your time as a customer with the provider. Most providers only offer this to new customers, and the terms spell out that you cannot request to upgrade the plan. That will result in the price for life pricing to restart at a higher monthly fee.
Price lock plans
Some providers offer a price-for-life perk on all of their internet plans, and other providers offer it for just a select few, usually their most or least expensive plans. Some providers are giving new customers three- to five-year price locks. Find out which providers offer lifetime pricing or price freezes and discover which are some of the best plans out there.
