We set this up more as a “problem to be solved” conversation rather than a tutorial. She described how the elderly parents of a friend […]

Always Negotiate with Your ISP
A year ago last November, Steve and I finally cut the cord. We gave up our cable TV service and switched everything over to streaming using YouTube TV. That left only two things with our ISP Frontier: our FiOS Internet and our landline phone. We’ve saved a fortune from cutting the cord, and by fortune, […]
