Affordable home internet for job applications - what worked for you?

I am worried about keeping my phone and internet on during my search. I am in Phoenix, in case local advice matters. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. What else should I consider?

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 2 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
