Phone and internet help for people out of work - what worked for you?

My home internet costs more than I can manage on unemployment. It has been a long 15 weeks. 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.
