Affordable home internet for job applications - 9 months and counting

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. This is my first time dealing with any of this. Some applications need a computer. What else should I consider?

I switched to a low-cost plan through my carrier and cut my bill by almost half.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 9 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
