Hello guys, what is your money tool? My money tool today is my internet bill. I am going to show you what I just recently discovered to help me cut the Spectrum internet bill by 50 percent. Here is a secret tool: T-Mobile. Read until the end to find out how I did it.

Let me show you proof that I did it

Why I am talking about Spectrum Internet.

I have been a customer of Spectrum since 2014, when I bought my first house. I only signed up for the Internet. I understand some people want TV plus a landline phone package, but I am not that guy. All I needed as a single guy was good internet. I started with 300 Mbps, and my bill was around $40. Over the next eight years, the bill slowly increases to $84 a month. On average, the internet bill is around $59.99 a month. I realize that I am paying too much.

The Secret sauce: T-Mobile Internet

At the end of 2022, I upgraded my phone to the 14 Pro at T-mobile. During the upgrade, the technician completely sold me on switching over to “The Most Reliable Network”:

$25 a month without any hidden fees such as installation fees or equipment fees. 
Super easy installation: all I have to do is to download the app, plug in the modem, and I am set. Too easy, right?
5G network. My mind automatically associates 5G with fast internet.
It’s only available in some selected areas, and LUCKILY my area has it.

That’s it. I am getting T-mobile internet to cut the bill by $60 a month. What a SWEET deal, so I thought.

 Here is how I able to cut my Spectrum bill by 50%

I called Spectrum, telling them that I wanted to switch. All hell broke loose. I spent 20 min on the phone with them, and here was the deal they gave me:

They can’t go down as low as $25, but they can lower the bill by as much as $45, plus they gave me a phone number to apply for a government program called Affordable Connectivity Program so that I could even lower the bill to as much as $25/ month. All I “had to do” was call and apply. Once I am accepted, call T-Mobile back, and they can apply that credit toward my bill. I COMPLETELY FELL for it.

So I called. It didn’t work. I couldn’t get a hold of anybody, so I said, “Forget it.”

I called Spectrum back and cut tide with them. However, as the last ditch to save me as a customer, they will still honor the $45 deal plus increase the speed to 500 Mbps if I return to them within 30 days.

Is T-mobile Internet good?

Oh HELL NO.

Let me tell you about the problem I had with T-mobile internet:

So slow. It said 300 mbps but much slower
All devices such as my phone, computer, TV, PS4 had lag issues all the time
Can’t even stream PS4 Call of Duty with my brother
The signal light was always at 3 bars out of 5 even though I put the device near the window. 
My TV is right next to it and it still lag sometimes
I even called the customer service to see if I did something wrong. I followed their recommendation and it still didn’t work.

Yes I am pissed at this point

After 14 days of trying, I returned to the T-mobile “Most reliable Network” internet and got back with Spectrum.

At the end

It feels like getting back with an ex after a break up but I got even better service from “her” this time. That’s it. Hope you enjoy my blog. Take care.
