Affordable home internet for job applications - any advice?

My home internet costs more than I can manage on unemployment. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. What else should I consider?

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

Libraries lend Wi-Fi hotspots in some towns. Mine lent one for three weeks.

Keep the number you use for job applications, even if you change plans. Employers will call it.

Ask your internet provider about their low-income plan. They rarely advertise it.

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

Keep everything in writing and save the confirmation numbers. It made the follow-up calls so much easier.
