Our telephone company just raised our phone service $5 across the board. I'm working to keep my costs down and so talked to them and they said the $5 was final but I could apply for a govt plan for my internet service, I could save about $30/mo if approved. So I went thru hoops for over a week and they say I'm approved, BUT it can take 2 billing cycles before it shows up....this is for low income customers and maybe for seniors.... That $30/month will be a hardship on our govt, I know.....
