    That fine and dandy with cellphone provider. I Don’t have choices for internet so they can call my bluff there.

      Have you tried bluffing even harder? Say that you got some good introductory offer for a satellite provider, or that you’re going to use your cellphone’s data as your primary internet connection for example?

      I have a 2 year agreement with my home Internet for a lower price. It’s not a contract because I can leave at any time, but I get a deal for a cheaper plan. It’s up in a few months, and all the options available for me to switch to are way higher. I’m going to call and try to pull the “well give me the new customer deal” shit, and if they call my bluff that they’re the only option I’ll just go without home Internet for a month or two then try to sign up again as a new customer and hope it works. I have unlimited hotspotting on my phone, it’s super slow but I can make do for a bit if I have to.

        Unfortunately I work from home, and must be directly connected to the internet modem. No wifi and must be ground internet no satellite or wireless internet.
