Downgrading services or cutting extras, such as Wi-Fi extenders or premium tech support, can lower your monthly internet bill. You can also try to negotiate with your internet provider for a lower rate. Switching internet providers and bundling internet with other services is another common way to lower internet costs.
Download speeds of 25 Mbps and above are considered broadband speeds, and can handle most online activities including streaming and gaming.
