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

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

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

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