Phone and internet help for people out of work (update)

My home internet costs more than I can manage on unemployment. There are 7 people counting on me, so I am trying to be careful. I heard of low-cost plans for people with limited income. Did you qualify for any programmes?

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

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