Hi! Thanks for watching. Hopefully I'm not too late in helping you. So yeah, that bill is bananas. What provider do you have? So the Roku's will give you the advantage of turning your TV's into smart TV's. If you bought a TV within the last 3 or 4 years though, you might already own a smart TV and don't need the Roku for it, so double check your TV's capabilities. To answer your question about the phone line, you can get an Ooma. I should probably do a video on this alone! It uses your internet connection to provide home phone service, but it's free! They do offer a paid plan with all the bells and whistles, but you can use your cell phone if you want all the extra capabilities. Always at least start off with the free version and if you feel it's lacking (I never felt that) you can upgrade. But it comes with call waiting, voicemail, etc. You can also port your number over to them when you sign up. You first buy the kit, you can get it from Amazon: amzn.to/37V0bH7. Once it arrives, read through the instructions and it'll explain how to keep your old number. DO NOT CANCEL YOUR CURRENT PHONE LINE SERVICE! Not for 30 days after the port at least! It'll remind you of this, but I just want to say it again. I think it's a $50 fee to port it over, but after that, you just pay taxes every month which depending where you live could be like $6 or so.

Hey Sheila thanks for your support! It depends on the location. You can go to www.highspeedinternet.com and put in your zip code and it'll give you some choices. From there you can check out each company to see if they service your home. If the speeds aren't super high, you can balance it out by using hotspot on your cell phone. I know my T-Mobile plan has 10GB high speed hotspot on all 7 of my lines and I only pay $156 per month. That effectively gives me 70GBs and we use that for streaming sometimes. When we watch Netflix, Amazon, or even KZread it doesn't count against our data due to the binge feature with T-Mobile.

Sorry for the late response! But you'll definitely still need some type of outside company. I'm not sure what your options are up there. But from glancing it looks like GCI is the fastest followed by Alaska communications. I also see none are REALLY unlimited either. not without spending almost $200 per month, ouch! So it depends on what you do online. If you stream it might make more sense to go unlimited. But I'd just get T-mobile and stream via my laptop, phone or tablet because it's unlimited free streaming with them, and get the $99/mo plan with GCI since that'll give you 400GB's per month at 200mpbs download. Hope that helps and sorry I'm so late! You're in one of those isolated areas where my general advice doesn't always apply fully. but you can still definitely buy you own equipment. It also appears that GCI is a cable internet company.

That's a REALLY good question Nathalia. From what I've seen no, and I've given up on trying to find anything. I used to use Clearwire 10 years ago when they existed. They were the best during the time. They advertised the same speeds as Comcast, but because of it receiving it's signal wirelessly, then transmitting the signal wirelessly, it was a clear difference between a hard wired line and wireless. Their home modems were a little better but they've long gone out of business. I'm thinking in the future we'll see cheap alternatives. Comcast actually has a really cheap alternative for qualified customers, and Elon Musk will be rolling out a satellite internet that's supposed to be faster and cheaper than everyone else as well. Lastly, 5G should give us options straight from our phones, hopefully they do away with the data caps though. Seems like there's some type of "gotcha" on every front. But if anyone else knows of anything feel free to chime in!

I started out years ago with the triple play but realized it was non useful to me so eventually I dropped that and got rid of the phone and cable and just kept the internet. But now My contract expired but I wanna keep the internet but just get rid of the rental equipment and get my own to bring the bill down some more.

That's an EXCELLENT idea! I used to work for Clearwire which offered mobile hotspot (MiFi) internet as well as home internet using the same technology, they inevitably went under as it was for people who couldn't get any internet at home but satellite. I'll definitely make that video explaining the difference. Bottom line, if you can get it with one of the major players especially, cable internet is the way to go due to bandwidth issues, streaming, and price. That's a great idea, I'd also shop around and see who else is in your area. If it's Spectrum (They own Cox, BrightHouse, Time Warner, and Charter now) or Comcast you can cancel Verizon altogether, and get a promo with someone else and buy your own equipment. Should bring your bill to around $45 per month or so.

Hey Nicole sorry I'm just seeing your comment. But I do! LOL, here's the funny thing about commercial accounts. At least back when I was with Comcast, all they did was give you the SAME service but charged more. That was it. I had a bunch of customers who wanted to get it in their business name, but if you do that, it'll just cost more but be the same service. Before you sign up, ask really probing questions about the speed and any data caps. If it's the same as a personal account, just get the personal account.... UNLESS, your business is a C-Corp or an S-Corp. If it's any kind of LLC, it's still tied to your personal SS# and you'll report the income on your personal tax return anyway, so you can still deduct it as an expense. If it's a Corporation, then you'll have to get it in your business name to legally deduct it. That's why it costs more because they know you'll be deducting it. But it's the same service. Hope this helps!

If I have already rented the internet router, can I cancel and buy my own? Also, would you recommend the Motorola or the NetGear. I live in Iowa and century link is our provider.

You also have my condolences for the internet speed. We're getting 200MBPS. But honestly 10Mbps isn't TERRIBLE if you are using 1-2 items on the network at a time. People think they need 100+ but you don't need it to stream well. You just need to make sure a lot of devices aren't online at the same time. I'll make a follow-up video soon.

Do you think 100Mbps is sufficient if you have gamers in the house? Also, our Comcast reps have always REQUIRED a contract with any sort of promotion that I have ever gotten with them. How do you get around that? If you like live sports, you will not get them with just Amazon Prime, Netflix & Hulu, that can be a problem if you have any sports fanatics in your house. I just signed up for KZread TV and am loving it so far. I am cautious about lowering my speed, so that my tv doesn't get interrupted however.

Because of the previous owners habit of not paying bills over 20 years and other people not paying bills in their name over the same 20 years (I’m assuming he had people put bills in their name when utilities in his name would get shut off) I had to put down pretty hefty deposits on all my utilities because of his history and my wife and I have good credit. None of my utilities were even going to budge on this.

They were taking advantage of the fact that you NEED these things. If that happens again, and for anyone watching, you offer to show them some closing documents of their choice, or a new lease showing that you just moved in. You can also show them a previous bill from your last residence showing that you paid on time and once again proving you didn't live there prior to now. Sorry that happened to you! These corporations typically have themselves only in mind.

Chris Knows Thanks for the advice man. I live your channel! Yeah I had a feeling there was a way around it but I didn’t have time to argue because the final week of us buying our house we extremely hectic and that’s when I called them. If I had had time I would have definitely fought it. By the way you said in the DC area. Is that where you are located? I am that’s why I am asking lol

Great advice !

Chis what if you already gave your ss # is there a way to retract it? I just got a place for the first time and I was naive about the process. I would greatly appreciate your knowledge and help. Thank you!

Unfortunately there's no way to back out now. Next time you sign up when you move be sure to give them a different phone number than the one you gave them this time and refuse the social. In the future, if you give them your number you have now, they'll STILL associate it with your social!

Chris Knows I got scammed by Xfinity and they’re saying I owe money for a box and I have to pay $300 to even my balance before getting wifi. If I have a new phone number and refuse the SS# they won’t be able to know it’s the same account based on my name? I’m a college student and NEED wifi especially right now being quarantined

Thanks so much.

Sheesh! Sometimes you have to call the call center, they usually have the best deals. Ask them what's their best internet deal and see if they can put you in it. Remember, they get paid commission so they have incentive to sell you that deal!

Antenna and library for the tv, visible for phone/internet. $25-$40/month unlimited data. You will have $$$ saved to spend on real fun instead of sitting infront of the tv.

AB No they won’t spend the money on having “real fun” because they might not be in front of the tv but they won’t have their faces out of their phone.

You would have to see what's available in your area. I also hear that T-Mobile has home internet in a few places for $50 per month with no contract and no rate increase. You can look for internet in your area by following this link: www.inmyarea.com/internet hope this helps!

great advice !!!!!

Yo Chris what internet do you recommend and what do you use

@ToolDeals

4 жыл бұрын

It depends on where you live. What city are you in? I recommend any cable or fiber optic service. Something that can get you at least 50mbps for less than $50/mo. I have Verizon and Comcast where I live now and currently use Comcast, BUT Verizon actually has a sweet deal that I would've gone with had they had it before I got Comcast. $39.99/mo for 200mbps, a $50 gift card, and Disney + free for 12 months... I don't think anyone has anything that good. I don't know if it's a contract though. If it's a 2 year contract I wouldn't take that deal, but if it's no contract? I'd be all over it.

Chris Knows I’m from south Texas and the big hitters are spectrum and at&t 50mps is around 50$ promotion for the year. Thanks for the reply man been trying to use hotspot for my ps4 but it’s useless and haven’t had internet for a while because I didn’t wanna fall into the ongoing trap after the 12 month promotion

Internet is a privilege. People who have power sometimes don’t know how to use it wisely. Sometimes, instead of managing your time off the screen (TV, phone, games), people tend to be “obsessed” with their “eyes glued to the screen”

Dude thanks for the video. It helped me a lot. Also I bet I got the slowest internet out of everyone here. Legit less than 1 mb per second. Also I checked ooma online for reviews and many people have said that there were problems with the company and services so can I get a second feedback for that?

@ToolDeals

I had Ooma for years and never had any problems. I saw those same issues, particularly with people wanting to cancel. For me, and I cancelled the service twice, it was just never an issue. Sometimes people don't follow instructions or maybe I just got good customer service reps, who knows? I do know it helps to treat people kindly when you call. Which I always do. I know they deal with angry customers all day, so when you show them some compassion, sometimes they do you solids. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you ☺️

what do you recommend for a router and modem combo? instead of purchasing both.

@ToolDeals

4 жыл бұрын

That's a great question Julie! First, you'll have to go to your internet provider's website and search for compatible modems. Most good providers allow you to search for compatible modems by internet speed as well as 2-in-1 units. That's what I'd go by. After you've found a list. Just look on Amazon for the cheapest most reliable one. Look at reviews to see how people like it, and go with that. I don't spend a lot of money on modems and routers. I've done it in the past and they worked no better than the cheaper modems. For instance, I'm now back with Comcast and I'm using an 8 year old Arris modem. I'm using a good router but I got it on sale for like $40 or so many years ago. The two work better than the equipment Comcast installed the first day! Don't over-think it. Shop for your budget and you should be good. Thanks for your helpful question!
